About this Event
EVA BC is pleased to invite you to our 2026 Annual Training Forum (ATF), Power in Action: Collective Response to the Systemic Crisis of Gender-Based Violence, September 24 and 25, at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre in downtown Vancouver.

The event will bring together over 300 anti-violence workers from our member programs as well as our partners from communities across BC to learn, celebrate and get re-energized in our work to support survivors of gender-based violence.
