I am participating in the Heavy Hockey Showdown again this year. Centres like this are crucial in the healing process for people who have been assaulted and had their lives changed for ever. Funding for these services keep dwindling and they now rely on fundraising to continue to help those in need. This year my goal is to raise $1,500 but I am sure we can pass that.

The Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton (SACE) exists to support people impacted by sexual violence and engage communities to promote respect and uphold a culture of consent.

Our mandate at SACE is to provide an extensive range of support services for people who experience sexual violence, including crisis support, counselling, police and court support, and advocacy. We also aim to foster prevention of sexual violence through direct public education and advisory consultation with groups and agencies undertaking their own prevention efforts.
