Our latest film screening of "It's A Girl," took place in partnership with Kwantlen Polytechnic University at their Surrey campus at the Confrerence Centre. Turnout was great, the room was filled to capacity. Event included speakers and a Q&A discussion after the film. Many people who were already aware of the issue found the film to shocking as the stories were very emotional and almost seemed unreal. Others that came felt the issue needs to continuously addressed. The interaction after the film was great, something we plan to continue with in the future. Food and refreshments provided by Desi Chulla in Surrey. Thank you everyone for coming out and supporting this event. See read more for more pics of the event or visit us on Facebook.
