In 1982, the Status of Women Action Group sponsored a Standing Committee with various women's groups and individuals, who wrote a proposal for a new sexual assault centre. This was to ensure continued availability of support services for women who have been sexually assaulted after a local agency called Rape Relief lost funding.
It is our mission to support, empower and advocate for women and all trans survivors of sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse. Regardless of when you were assaulted, we are here to support you in your healing journey. We serve as a liaison between individuals affected by sexual violence, the justice and medical systems and community services.
At any point, you can call our access line (250-383-3232) to find out what your options are. We want you to know that what happened to you was not your fault and there is support for you. Sexual assault is any form of sexual contact without your consent. Consent is a mutual, verbal, physical, and emotional agreement that happens enthusiastically, without manipulation, threats, or coercion.
