Volunteers from the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre attended the Young Guns Golf Tournament on Tuesday June 20th. The event was held at the Alberta Springs Golf Resort just outside of Red Deer. CASASC raffled off three beer trees kindly donated by the Troubled Monk, Something Brewing and Blindman Brewing from Lacombe. They also raised fund through a 50/50 on the course and raffled off Taylor made clubs and a golf bag. The event was extremely well attended and the Centre would like to express their gratitude for everyone’s support!

“The Young Guns Golf Tournament began in 2002 by a group of community minded individuals, all with a strong hockey background. Many were either former Red Deer hockey players or family members that wanted an opportunity to give back to the Red Deer community. The committee annually holds the Young Guns golf tournament and donates the proceeds to charities in Central Alberta.”

On Friday June 2nd from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre was at Parkland Mall for Victims and Survivors of Crime Week! As part of their event they engaged shoppers in the I Respect campaign and the I Believe You campaign. People passing by stopped to write signs, examples were I Respect… the good in everyone, animals, life, kindness, honesty and many more!

Special thanks to Parkland Mall for giving us a table to use and promote our Centre!

Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre would like to thank everyone who participated or helped out with our Victims and Survivors of Crime Week 2017 event, which ran from May 28 to June 3, 2017! Victims Week is a nationwide event that is put on by the Government of Canada every year. This year, the theme was “Empowering Resilience” and there were 195 events that took place across the country. Our goal was to raise awareness of the services around Central Alberta available for Victims and Survivors of crime, and to raise awareness to the issues surrounding respect; the more we show our respect for one another, the less we harm each other. With the number of followers on our social media outlets (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter), active participation, and the attention from two of our local newspapers, we estimate that we reached more than 5000 people throughout Central Alberta.

We would like to extend a special thank you to the survivors who submitted their stories of resiliency anonymously for us to post on the event page. It allows other survivors going through similar situations to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Two years ago the Mayor Tara Veer along with the City of Red Deer proclaimed May 28th as the official day of “Respect”. This years Day of Respect fell on a Sunday and was again recognized by many supporters. As disrespect is one of the root causes of many social problems including bullying, harassment, violence and sexual assault our Centre hopes to help foster a culture of respect. Throughout our journey we have started the I Respect Campaign and are happy to announce this year we are continuing our efforts to promote respect with the social media hashtag #respectculture. Too often people speak of rape culture but an emphasis needs to be also placed on respect as a medium of prevention going forward. For more information on how to participate in our campaigns please contact our Centre at casasc@casasc.ca or 403-340-1124.

On Saturday May 27th the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre attended the Market at Red Deer! The booth was graciously donated by Volunteer Central for the day. Weather was sunny and the volunteers helped raffle off a handcrafted wooden chair donated by John Dickins. All proceeds of the raffle went to helping the “No Secrets” program. As the crowds flowed by, people stopped to  participate in the I Respect Campaign by getting Made To Respect shirts as well as making I Respect signs. The Centre also raised awareness on Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Victims and Survivors of Crime Week and Respect Day! Overall the event was well attended and had many participators!
