Charlotte the Elephant is back for a second November, drawing attention to family violence and the support available in Strathcona County.

 

Children at A Safe Place named the yarn-wrapped elephant, which is visiting public spaces throughout the month.

 

The display is at Strathcona County Library Nov. 4–12, Ardrossan Recreation Centre Nov. 12–18, Millennium Place Nov. 18–25 and Bethel Transit Terminal Nov. 25–30.

 

Visitors can leave a note of encouragement or take home a small crocheted elephant made by volunteers while supplies last.

 

County Family and Community Services, A Safe Place, Saffron Centre and local RCMP are among the campaign partners.

 

Anyone experiencing family violence or concerned about someone else can call 780-464-4044 for information on local supports.
