OHL ONSIDE program is founded in partnership between Ontario Coalition of R**e Crisis Centres (OCRCC), sexual assault centers, and OHL clubs which has been specifically designed for OHL players and team staff aimed at increasing the understanding and awareness of the player’s responsibility to demonstrate respect for women through their actions and words:

* Healthy masculinity
* Peer leadership and accountability
* Consent and boundary-setting
* Bystander intervention
* Unpacking r**e culture and harmful locker room norms

This year’s OHL ONSIDE program was delivered by Lee Rinaldi, Sergeant of the Child Abuse/S*xual Assault Major Crimes Unit with the Greater Sudbury Police Service, along with Cereena Rows and Katharine Thompson from Voices for Women Sudbury S*xual Assault Center at Health Sciences North.

Thank you to the Wolves for their support and commitment to the program! 💜Health Sciences North / Horizon Santé-Nord

September 30th is National Truth and Reconciliation Day and Orange Shirt Day. 🧡

This is an opportunity for everyone to learn about and reflect on the intergenerational harm that residential schools have caused Indigenous families and communities. This is a step among many actions toward healing and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

Today we wore orange but this day is a reminder to take concrete steps to learn, better understand and take action towards truth and reconciliation:

🧡Read the Canada Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report:https://ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Calls_to_Action_English2.pdf

🧡 Learn about colonialism, residential schools, the 1960s scoop, and other colonial and oppressive systems that still exist today.

🧡Explore the unique intersections we have between treaty, constitutional, Indigenous and human rights in Canada

🧡Recognize the rich contributions that Indigenous peoples have made to Canada

🧡Take action to address historical injustices and present-day wrongs

🧡Create a culturally safe environment

🧡Teach others

Jin Jiyan Azadi ✨
Women Life Freedom 💜

The slogan originated in the Kurdish freedom and women's liberation movement in the late 20th century, arising from grassroots activism against patriarchal and authoritarian oppression.

It gained international attention during the fight against ISIS in Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan) and became a powerful global chant in September 2022 following the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody in Iran.

Today, it stands worldwide as a symbol of resistance, bodily autonomy, and equality.

This year's Take Back the Night was a huge success! We had an incredible turnout of community members, survivors, advocates, and community partners who came together to stand against sexual and gender-based violence.

A huge thank you to our Take Back the Night Coalition to End Violence Against Women Committee and the incredible organizations who worked alongside Voices For Women Sudbury S*xual Assault Centre to make this event possible:

Centre Victoria pour femmes
YWCA Sudbury
Greater Sudbury Police Service
Sudbury Better Beginnings Better Futures
Health Sciences North / Horizon Santé-Nord
Afro Women and Youth Foundation
Sudbury & Area Victim Services / Services aux victimes du Grand Sudbury
Sudbury Women's Centre
Children's Aid Society of Sudbury & Manitoulin

Most importantly, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Greater Sudbury Police Service for their continued support of Take Back the Night. Their willingness to work alongside us, adapt when needed, and help ensure our community could safely reclaim the streets together was deeply appreciated.

And to every person who showed up, marched, listened, shared space, supported a survivor, or simply stood beside us; thank you.

Take Back the Night is more than one evening.

It is a reminder of what is possible when a community comes together to say:

We believe survivors. 💜
We stand together.
And we will continue to take back the night.

This week at Voices for Women Sudbury S*xual Assault Centre, we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Ther**eutic Healing in Nature Retreat. 🌿💜

This year, we welcomed 18 women to experience a meaningful opportunity for healing, connection, reflection, and support surrounded by the healing beauty of nature.

We are especially grateful to founder Nancy Horan, whose vision and dedication brought this retreat to life 10 years ago. What began as an opportunity to create a unique healing experience for survivors has grown into a meaningful annual tradition.

For a decade, this retreat has provided women with space to step away from the demands of everyday life, be cared for, connect with others who understand, reconnect with themselves, and explore healing at their own pace.

We are deeply grateful to Nancy, our staff, volunteers, community partners, and everyone who has contributed to making this retreat possible over the past ten years.

Ten years of healing. Ten years of connection. Ten years of creating space for survivors. 🌿💜

Here’s to honouring the past 10 years and looking forward to the many more women whose healing journeys will be supported through this special retreat.

Pictured below is the Forest Bathing and Sunset Mindfulness session at the Healing in Nature Retreat 🫶🏻

As we enter into Day 3 of the Ther**eutic Healing in Nature Retreat, we are grateful for the 18 amazing women attending retreat this year! Day 2 involved mindfulness sessions by the water, sound bowls and chakra balancing, forest bathing sunset, an amazing performance by Angie Nussey and the freedom fire 🔥

We also had an early thanksgiving and are thankful for the courage, resilience and healing of survivors of sexual violence 💜
