Labour Day celebrates workers’ incredible contributions and honours those who have fought and continue to fight for workers’ rights to safety, equity, and justice.

Resulting from both socio-economic and stigma-related factors, those who have been criminalized and incarcerated—particularly women and gender-diverse individuals—face barriers to not only accessing rights as workers, but to attaining employment at all.

By offering employment readiness support and work placements, through an approach that is trauma-informed, empowerment-focused, and community-centred, our Abundance Store Program helps our clients to overcome these barriers, heal, build community, and reach their goals.

Learn more about Abundance by following The Abundance Store or visiting them at 165 Main Street in Dartmouth (hours can be found on their page). Thank you for your support!

On Friday, September 25th, from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Weldon Law Building, please join us for a panel centred on navigating the legal system in the wake of violence victimization and loss. The panel will also be livestreamed from our page: https://www.facebook.com/efrysocietyhalifax

The panel, held in loving memory of Logan Alexandra Russell, who was tragically killed in an act of intimate partner violence in November of 2025, will be the second of three panels supported through the Logan Alexandra Russell Fund. Intended to honour Logan’s beautiful life and loving, empathetic nature, while also striving to protect others from the violence that caused her death, the fund will contribute to intimate partner violence prevention efforts, focused on both education and the fostering of meaningful, non-judgmental, and empowering connections and collaborations.

Please email [email protected] to RSVP or for more information about The Logan Alexandra Russell Fund. To contribute to the fund, please donate directly through our website: www.efrymns.ca/donate. When making a donation, please note "Logan's Fund" in the message section of the form. 

On behalf of both the Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia and Logan’s family, thank you for helping us to engage in violence prevention, intervention, and support through learning, connecting, and cooperating, honouring and carrying on Logan’s legacy of love, empathy, and commitment to creating safe, kinder spaces for all.

Logan Alexandra Russell was “the girl who turned every room into a stage, and every heart she touched into a safer, happier place.”

But she was not safe. On November 23rd, 2025, Logan tragically lost her life in an act of horrifying violence perpetrated by her male partner. Our hearts are broken for Logan, her many family members and friends, and all those who loved and were loved by her. 

Beyond the violence inflicted by her partner, Logan was failed by systems that should have kept her safe. Since our province declared intimate partner violence to be an epidemic in September of last year, at least eight women in Nova Scotia, including Logan, have been killed by their male partners. However, there has not been an epidemic-level response to investing in intersectional, root cause-centered intimate partner violence prevention strategy.

In loving memory of Logan, the Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia, in partnership with her family, established The Logan Alexandra Russell Fund.

Intended to honour Logan’s beautiful life and loving, empathetic nature, while also striving to protect others from the violence that caused her death, the fund contributes to intimate partner violence prevention efforts, focused on both education and the fostering of meaningful, non-judgmental, and empowering connections and collaborations.

To contribute to The Logan Alexandra Russell Fund, please donate directly through our website: www.efrymns.ca/donate. When making a donation, please note "Logan's Fund" in the message section of the form. 

On Friday, September 25th, you are invited to join us for "Navigating the Legal System After Violence Victimization and Loss", the second panel funded by the Logan Alexandra Russell Fund. The panel will be from 6 pm to 8 pm at Dalhousie's Weldon Law Building. Please email [email protected] to RSVP and for more information about both the panel and fund.
