2020 Breakfast with the Guys - Foothills
Join us for our 3rd annual Breakfast with the Guys - where we bring awareness to the small ways you can actually make a big difference for all the women and girls in your life.
Our 2020 Keynote Speaker and Next Gen Men’s Executive Director, Jake Stika is a passionate speaker and facilitator focused on gender-based issues related to the social and emotional development of young men, the health and well-being of men in communities, and gender equity in workplaces. Jake was named one of Avenue Magazine’s Top 40 Under 40, as well as having earned recognition from Ashoka, the British Council, and the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion.
He has spoken at the United Nations as part of the Canadian Delegation, and participated in the UN Women Safe Cities Initiative Global Forum. He is also a proud advisor to the Calgary Immigrant Women's Association, Canadian Women & Sport, as well as the Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter.
When women reach out to us for help, it tends to be after the abuse has taken place. We work hard to support them in their journey to healing and continue to change the lives of many women and children. However, we strongly believe that prevention and education are what will create the cultural shift to ultimately end domestic violence. But we need your help!
Last year’s Breakfast with the Guys event SOLD OUT, so make sure you get your tickets early. It may be a virtual event but we have some fun surprises* and a message to make it worthwhile.
We hope to see you there!
*please note, Swag will only be mailed to the first 250 guests.

Enjoy a networking breakfast, followed by a presentation by former Calgary Stampeder, Keon Raymond. Raymond will share his personal story of experiencing family violence and what it means to be a part of the Alberta Council of Women's Shelters Leading Change project.
Then you'll be out the door and on your way back to work by 9am!

Violence and abuse are not issues that should stay behind closed doors - they are the responsibility of the whole community.
So Rowan House is calling on the good guys to be leaders for change.
If you are a leader in the community, Breakfast with the Guys is an opportunity for you to take small steps that will have a big impact. Together we can create a safer future for those who live with violence every day. These are women you know, in your workplace, on your daughter’s soccer team, around you when you are out with friends and those in the causes you support.
*Please note, this event is not limited to men. All are welcome!
