New report helps improve safety on Alberta campuses

Almost 13,000 students from Alberta’s publicly funded post-secondary institutions responded to the first provincewide campus climate survey on sexual and gender-based violence earlier this year. Alberta’s post-secondary system has made meaningful progress in addressing and bringing awareness to gender-based violence and the report, informed by the survey, will be a valuable tool going forward.

“We remain committed to campus safety, including the prevention of gender-based violence.

Thank you to all the respondents who took the time to provide this invaluable feedback.”
