Reconciliation isn't a box to check once a year, it's a continuous responsibility to dismantle systemic barriers across post-secondary education.

Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, ASEC re-affirms our commitment to Indigenous-led change, meaningful partnership, and policy advocacy that delivers real impact for Indigenous learners across Alberta.

We continue to highlight TRC Call to Action #11, urging the federal government to provide adequate funding to end the backlog of First Nations students seeking post-secondary education. Access to education is a fundamental right, and removing financial barriers is essential to equity and systemic justice.

True reconciliation requires more than statements. It demands policy action, sustained funding, and persistent advocacy that elevates Indigenous voices every day of the year.

Digital consent is campus consent. In a world where so much of student life happens online, digital boundaries are just as real and important as physical ones.

To wrap up , we are focusing on digital consent and online safety. From group chats and social media to virtual classrooms, respecting digital limits directly protects post-secondary student wellbeing. Online harassment, non-consensual sharing of intimate images, and digital coercion severely impact student mental health and academic focus.

Practicing digital consent means asking before tagging someone in a post, checking in before sharing photos or private messages, and respecting when someone sets limits on their online availability.

At ASEC, our stance is simple: no form of sexual or gender based violence is acceptable, ever, whether it occurs in person or online.

Consent is not just something we talk about in intimate situations. It is a habit we practice every single day in our friendships, study groups, roommate dynamics, and campus spaces.

For , we are highlighting everyday consent and what it looks like to build truly respectful relationships. Asking before posting a friend's photo online, checking in before giving a hug, or making sure someone actually has the emotional bandwidth to listen to a vent are all small ways we practice consent daily.

When everyday consent becomes the norm on campus, it directly improves student wellbeing. It creates low pressure environments where people feel safe to express their needs, set limits, and trust the people around them. Healthy, respectful campus relationships build a stronger, safer post-secondary community for everyone.
