Inspirational Sayings
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
You were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
" --Nelson Mandela, 1994 Inaugural Speech

Victim's of Crime Commemoration

Commemoration Event details:
Amelia Rising Sexual Assault Centre of Nipissing has been selected to host an important event on Friday,June 10th, at the Best Western from 11am—2pm. Each year the Ontario Victim Services Secretariat provides
grants to three communities to host Victims’ Commemoration Day. Amelia Rising is pleased to be holding a Commemoration Brunch to honour victims of crime, and to recognize individuals dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of survivors of violence.

The event is by invitation only, where nominated community members will receive certificates of recognition. Media is welcome to attend, and while the guest list is limited to invitees, Amelia Rising wants North Bay and area to be aware that this event serves as a reminder to us all of the impact and importance of Victims’ Rights. The event will feature informative guest speakers, including a keynote address from Steve Sullivan, former Ombudsman for Victims of Crime and Andrée Cazabon, a street youth turned award winning documentary film
maker who uses film as a springboard to share victims voices and rights.

Amelia Rising Executive Director Patty Chabbert believes it is a privilege to be included in this year’s events.“As an organization Amelia Rising is honored to provide a platform to amplify victims’ voices, honoring victims of crime and recognizing the unified vision the Victims Bill of Rights offers. Hopefully this event will give back
to a community making amazing strides in recognizing victims’ rights, and will give back to those setting an extremely high standard in their work with survivors of violence”, she explains.

Commemoration Plaque Unveiling at the North Bay Waterfront:
Amelia Rising is also pleased to invite any members of the public, as well as media for photo opportunities or interviews, to attend the unveiling of a special plaque at Amelia Rising Beach at the North Bay Waterfront,Sunday, June 12th at 1pm.
