Another promise kept. Our government is delivering on our commitment to providing sexual assault centres $10 million over three years to make sure survivors have access to the supports they need. Learn more: https://t.co/2Y514nyguf #ableg #abpoli

Our government will not stand for sexual, domestic or gender-based violence, and there is no better time to reaffirm our commitment to protect vulnerable Albertans than Sexual Violence Awareness Month. #ableg #abpoli

[Alberta Children and Family Services @ABChildServices]

Sexual violence is traumatizing, and no Albertan should have to experience it.

Today, we announced an additional investment of $10 million to further support sexual violence survivors to make sure they get the care and support they need.

Sextortion is on the rise in Canada and can cause significant harm to those impacted. If you or someone you know has experienced sextortion, call Saffron today for support and information. It is never the fault of the person experiencing the harm. #ibelieveyou #sextortion

Mayor Frank declared the month of May as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Strathcona County Today. Great to have @RoxaneTiessen, Kiara and Yukon join council in chambers today.

Statement on the University of Alberta Sexual Assault Centre

The recent improper and unauthorized use of the name of the University of Alberta’s Sexual Assault Centre in endorsing an open letter has raised understandable concerns from members of our community and the public. Effective immediately, the director of the centre is no longer employed by the university. The university has appointed a new interim director of the Sexual Assault Centre.

I want to be clear that the former employee’s personal views and opinions do not in any way represent those of the University of Alberta. The University of Alberta stands firmly and unequivocally against discrimination and hatred on the basis of religion, race, ethnicity, national origin, and other protected categories. We recognize the historical and ongoing harms of antisemitism and commit to doing all we can as a university to advance a world free of prejudice and discrimination. The services provided by the university, particularly those supporting the well-being and health of community members, must be open and welcoming to all individuals in our diverse community. The new leadership at the Sexual Assault Centre is committed to swiftly implementing the changes required to ensure this university commitment is upheld.

I understand that this event has been profoundly hurtful and may have compromised the trust of individuals in our community. I also recognize the significant potential negative impact given the critical nature of the centre’s work. On behalf of the university, I apologize for the hurt and distress this issue has caused members of our community and beyond. As a university, we commit to continued action to restore your trust.
