CALGARY In recognition of sexual violence awareness month in Alberta, three Calgary post-secondary institutions will be hosting consent workshops for students, staff and faculty members. The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and Bow Valley College are offering the Rethinking Consent program in an effort to raise awareness to the issues of dating violence, domestic violence and sexual and gender-based violence.

Sexual Violence Awareness Month is an opportunity to flip the conversation from messages of shame and blame, to messages that offer love, support and compassion.
