WHAT IS RESET THE DIAL?
Our biggest day of giving — Cirque du Joy is the signature annual event that raises the most vital funds in a single day to support the Women’s Resilience Centre’s powerful mission: helping women and families reset and rebuild their lives.
With your support, we’re making our vision a reality: a future where women recover from domestic abuse and trauma and emerge with renewed strength, independence, and purpose.
This extraordinary evening directly fuels programs that help women reset their health, reclaim their safety, and rebuild their futures with resilience.

WHY CIRQUE DU JOY?
Joy is more than a fleeting feeling — it’s a state of mind that brings fulfilment, resilience, and connection, even in life’s most difficult moments.
At its heart, joy is about human connection. It strengthens our social bonds, transcends language, and reminds us that quality of life is defined not only by survival, but by celebration, wonder, and delight.
Joy is a human right — an essential part of recovery. For women and families rebuilding their lives after trauma, joy must not be an afterthought. It is central to healing, to hope, and to wholeness.
When we come together in a shared moment of joy, we remember what it means to feel alive — and we extend that possibility to others. This evening isn’t just a celebration. It’s a catalyst for change.
Together, we’re creating space for joy — and making it possible for women and families to reset, rebuild, and thrive.
