Selkirk College men speak out against sexual violence

Selkirk College is dedicating October to raising awareness about how to prevent sexual violence.

Earlier this year, the college adopted a sexual violence prevention and response policy that sets in place protocols and procedures to ensure survivors of sexual assault have access to the support, resources and information they need to do what’s right for them.
