Government Grant
Alberta 2030: Building Skills for Jobs | Reducing sexual violence on campus
Alberta’s government agrees with student leaders from across the province that more needs to be done to address sexual violence in campus communities. Post-secondary institutions are being asked to revisit and revise their sexual violence policies to ensure best practices are implemented. This funding will support the development of a new provincewide survey to give us a better understanding of the state of sexual violence and harassment in Alberta’s post-secondary communities. A new grant of $2.5 million will be provided to post-secondary institutions to support training and awareness programs on campuses.
