Support Bryony House at The Fall Women’s Show
A day of shopping and connection can do more than bring people together. This fall, it will also help support women and children in our community who need safety, care and practical support.
The Fall Women’s Show is proud to donate a portion of door admission to Bryony House, a vital local organization that supports women and their children experiencing intimate partner violence. The event takes place Saturday, September 26, at Cedar Event Centre in Clayton Park, with doors opening at 10 AM.
Guests can shop local vendors, discover new favourites, connect with community organizations and hear directly from Bryony House during the speaker series at 10:30 AM.
Why Bryony House matters
Bryony House provides a safe haven and vital support for women and children experiencing intimate partner violence. Their work meets people at some of the most difficult moments in their lives, when safety, privacy and compassionate help matter deeply.
Their services include:
A 24/7 distress line
Emergency shelter
Safety planning
Counselling
Advocacy
Housing support
Outreach
Help connecting women with community resources
These services are not abstract. They can mean a safe place to stay, help making a plan, support while navigating systems, or a caring voice during a crisis. For families experiencing violence, that kind of support can change the next hour, the next day and the path forward.
Supporting Bryony House at The Fall Women’s Show is one way the community can stand behind this work. Every person who comes through the door helps build a stronger circle of care around women and children who deserve safety and dignity.
If someone is in immediate danger, they should call emergency services. For ongoing support, Bryony House offers information and resources through its official channels.
What to expect at The Fall Women’s Show
The Fall Women’s Show is designed as a day to shop, discover, connect and be inspired. It brings together local businesses, community organizations and guests who want to spend the day supporting women, local makers and meaningful causes.
Here are the key event details:
Event detail | Information |
Date | Saturday, September 26 |
Doors | Open at 10 AM |
Location | Cedar Event Centre, Clayton Park |
Speaker series | Bryony House speaks at 10:30 AM |
Community support | A portion of door admission will be donated to Bryony House |
The event offers a simple but powerful way to give back. A ticket at the door supports the show and contributes to Bryony House. A purchase from a local vendor supports small business. A conversation with a community organization can open the door to new awareness.
That combination is what makes community events special. People come for the shopping and the experience, then leave with a stronger connection to the work happening around them.
Hear from Bryony House at 10:30 AM
One of the most meaningful parts of the day will be the chance to hear from Bryony House during the speaker series at 10:30 AM.
This is an opportunity to learn more about the organization’s role in the community, the types of support it provides and why local awareness matters. For many people, intimate partner violence can feel like a private issue or something that happens out of sight. In reality, it affects families, workplaces, schools, neighbourhoods and entire communities.
Hearing directly from Bryony House helps put the focus where it belongs, on safety, support and practical care. It also helps guests understand how community donations, local partnerships and public awareness can make a difference.
No one needs to be an expert to care. Listening is a good place to start. Showing up is another.
Local businesses are part of the support
Bryony House will also be at the show alongside Enough Clothing, a local woman-owned business that gives back by donating a portion of its proceeds to Bryony House.
That kind of partnership matters. When local businesses choose to support community organizations, they help keep important conversations visible. They also give shoppers a way to make purchases that reflect their values.
At the show, guests can meet vendors, browse products and support entrepreneurs who are building businesses with heart. Enough Clothing’s presence is a reminder that giving back does not have to be separate from everyday choices. It can be woven into where people shop, what they support and how local businesses show up for their community.
How attendance helps create impact
Community support often begins with simple choices. Attending an event. Buying from a local vendor. Listening to a speaker. Donating when possible. Sharing information with someone who may need it.
At The Fall Women’s Show, those small choices come together in one place.
A portion of door admission will go to Bryony House, which means attendance directly supports their work. Guests can also learn more, ask questions at the event and connect with people who care about the same cause.
For anyone who wants to give beyond attending the show, donations can be made through Bryony House on CanadaHelps.
This is also a chance to support women in more than one way. The show highlights local entrepreneurs, community organizations and services that help people feel connected and informed. It creates space for meaningful conversations while still offering the fun of a fall market-style event.
Support can look like bringing a friend. It can look like stopping by the Bryony House table. It can look like making a purchase from a vendor who gives back. It can also look like learning what resources exist, so that if someone ever needs help, the information is easier to find.
Come out and support women in the community
The Fall Women’s Show is more than a day of shopping. It is a chance to connect with local businesses, discover community resources and support an organization doing essential work for women and children.
Join us on Saturday, September 26, at Cedar Event Centre in Clayton Park. Doors open at 10 AM, and Bryony House will speak during the speaker series at 10:30 AM.
Come shop, discover, connect and be inspired. Most of all, come help support Bryony House and the important work they do for women and families in our community.
