2022 Sexual Assault on Campus Canada – Birchmount Conferences Group

Help your campus do better. Get practical take-aways for your organization.

Post-secondary institutions are meant to be safe spaces with the mission to educate students and engage the community in critical thought and discussion. They need to do more to create environments where all students are safe from violence. They need to do more to support the survivors when they come forward. And, they need to engage the community at large on creating a culture of consent.

The Sexual Assault on Campus Canada Virtual Conference is geared specifically to administrators. Through keynote presentation, roundtable discussions and networking opportunities, it is an opportunity for administrators to meet with their peers and formulate their action plan for addressing sexual assault on campus. Online resources will also be made available to be shared back to their respective organizations.
