VICTORIA Over the past year there have been several high-profile sexual assault allegation cases in Victoria’s hospitality industry, prompting an outcry for change. Now, a non-profit organization wants to make the industry safer through education and prevention. Good Night Out Vancouver (GNOV) is offering free sexual violence prevention training for the hospitality sector up and down Vancouver Island. The GNOV s Safer Places Program provides tools and skills to prevent and respond to sexual violence in restaurants, pubs, and other venues where liquor is served. Expansion of the program to Vancouver Island follows Victoria city council’s motion to prevent sexualized violence and build a culture of consent in Victoria’s hospitality community. The motion also included the possibility of mandating workplace training as a condition of liquor licensing in the city.
