Thorold Today, the NOTL Local and Pelham Today released an article on this year’s Walk a Mile in Her Shoes fundraiser for Gillian’s Place.
The article shares that Craig Youdale, Dean of Culinary Tourism and Beverage at Niagara College, has taken on the role as one of six 2024 Walk A Mile in Her Shoes ambassadors. With the College being among the larger employers in the Niagara region, the article highlights Youdale’s role as one of the faces of the walk to end intimate partner violence as a meaningful one.
Youdale is quoted in the article: “It’s certainly about raising money but it’s just as much about raising awareness and getting more people involved. It’s a little sobering as an ambassador, too, when you delve into the number of calls they receive and the people they help. It makes you realize how much need is out there for their services.”
