Light The Darkness
Join us for the month of March at Kingsway Mall as we come together to raise awareness about gender-based violence and support those impacted through our Light the Darkness Campaign in honour of International Women’s Day.
This transformative exhibit features a powerful Interactive Art Installation: created by award-winning local designer and entrepreneur Tessa Stamp.
The display showcases real stories of resilience from women who have sought refuge at WIN House. Each meticulously crafted room, designed at a 1:4 scale, tells a poignant story while inviting reflection and action.
Throughout March 5th to March 27th, we invite you to visit the installation at Kingsway Mall, learn about the realities of gender-based violence, and discover how you can make a difference.
Every visit to the installation offers an opportunity to make a difference. Donations made during this campaign help illuminate the path toward safety and hope for those affected by violence.
Let’s stand together to foster a brighter, safer future. Visit Kingsway Mall and take part in this meaningful campaign throughout March 5th to March 27th, 2026.
Honouring the Women Who Built Safety and Hope: #50WomenforWINHouse
In recognition of International Women’s Day, we are proud to celebrate the women who have helped shape WIN House’s impact over the past five decades. As part of this event, we will welcome 50+ women who represent the thousands of women who have supported WIN House since its beginning - through personal commitment, professional leadership, philanthropy, and advocacy.
These women symbolize the collective strength, resilience, and generosity that continue to sustain our mission. Together, they reflect a legacy of care that has helped create safer pathways forward for women and children in our community.
This gathering is designed to inspire connection, gratitude, and momentum - reminding us that when women come together with purpose, meaningful change happens. Our hope is that every person who joins us leaves feeling energized, valued, and proud to be part of a community that continues to build safety, dignity, and opportunity for all.
We’ll be hosting a 50/50 draw with a goal to raise $100,000 to support women and children fleeing violence.
Stay tuned for more details!

Light the Darkness Campaign:
Until They're Safe . Without Exception
WIN House is a safe haven for women, children, and non-binary individuals to flee gender-based violence.
Across our three shelters, we foster resiliency and stability in our residents through forward-thinking funding models and programming. Our low-barrier approach means we address both the essential and complex needs resulting from abuse, including poverty, home and food insecurity, and addiction.
With unwavering commitment to our shared mission of a life free(d) from violence, we pioneer collaborative efforts with our community partners and actively seek to foster
unity among gender-based violence organizations.
This March, join us for our Light the Darkness Campaign, a month-long initiative to raise awareness about gender-based violence and the challenges women’s shelters face in Alberta. Through powerful storytelling, we aim to illuminate the realities of those impacted by violence while highlighting the transformative work of
WIN House.
This campaign not only sheds light on the stories of resilience from those who have crossed our doors but also magnifies the adversity and strength they embody. With your support, we can continue our mission to foster a brighter, safer, and more inclusive future — Until They're Safe. Without Exception.
