Hundreds of shoes big and little lined the fountain in Garden Square Sunday as a memorial to all the women and girls who have died or suffered from gender violence, including the 90 Brampton and Mississauga women who have been victims of domestic homicide since 1974.In a vigil to mark the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, a rose ceremony also honoured the memory of the 14 women killed in 1989 at the École Polytechnique in Montreal.Those in attendance honoured their memory by placing one red rose for each into a vase as their names were read out and their photographs flashed onto the big television screen in the square.

Valentine's Day roses in short supply due to COVID-19: floral industry – Surrey Now-Leader - Surrey Now-Leader

Ontario residents looking to buy Valentine’s Day flowers for their sweethearts may have to branch out from the classic rose bouquet, or consider celebrating on another day, as the COVID-19 pandemic affects floral supply chains, some in the industry say.The health crisis caused many local and international farms to cut flower production or shut down altogether last year, and while operations have largely resumed, supply is still lagging, according to some in the industry.Other factors, such as transportation, are also contributing to the shortage, they say, with a drop in commercial flights and truck shipments that are typically used to haul flowers from South America to Canada via Miami.Demand for flowers has been high throughout the pandemic, however, likely spurred by people’s desire to show affection despite social distancing and to brighten up homes during lockdowns, said Glenn Hofland, owner of the flower wholesaler Hofland, which supplies florists across the country.It’s particul... https://www.surreynowleader.com/trending-now/valentines-day-roses-in-short-supply-due-to-covid-19-floral-industry/
