This year we will come together as a community, virtually, and honour the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. This day is not only an opportunity to reflect and honour the lost lives of 14 young women, but to also consider and take action against violence that people who identify as women in our communities face to this day.

In this engaging online workshop hosted by the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region, we will focus on examining how different actions, behaviours, attitudes and beliefs contribute to healthy or unhealthy workplaces, and we will pay special attention to fostering healthy online communication.
