Consent  

Any form of sexual activity without consent is sexual assault. Consent is legally required and necessary. We are proud to launch our collaboration video that discusses the importance of obtaining consent, the law around consent, and some support options available to individuals affected by sexual violence.

The Greater Sudbury Police Service is proud to partner with Laurentian University Equity Diversity and Human Rights Office (EDRHO), Cambrian College, Collège Boréal, and Sudbury & Area Victim Services to raise awareness on the importance of consent
