SACE - Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton

A bear-y important visit.

Minister Searle Turton from the Ministry of Child & Family Services visited the SACE office during Sexual Violence Awareness Month to learn more about our programs and the services we provide in support of survivors.

We appreciate the opportunity to share our work and express gratitude to Minister Turton for sustained government support, which helps ensure these essential services remain accessible, responsive, and available to those who need them most.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored or purchased a bear in support of our campaign 🧸💛 Some of you have already shared some bear-y cute names:

• Beary White

Now we want to know… what would YOU name yours?

A few of our SACE employees showing up in support of Red Dress Day.
Together, we show up in remembrance and in commitment to ongoing awareness and action.

Every red dress is more than a symbol—it represents a life, a story, and a presence that should never be forgotten.

On Red Dress Day, SACE honours Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people, and we hold space for the families and communities who carry their memories forward every day.

This is a call to remember, to learn, and to act so that these losses are never normalized, and so that every person is seen, valued, and protected.
