Our Events

Take Back the Night (TBTN) is an annual rally and protest against sexual and gender-based violence. Take Back the Night communities celebrate, support, and empower survivors, while creating safer communities and healthier relationships through awareness, activism and advocacy.

Throughout the year, Project Lighthouse hosts amazing guest speakers to start the important conversation on sexual violence prevention, consent, and how to support survivors of sexual violence.

Some past guest speakers include:

Students and employees are invited to attend this talk to learn about healthy relationships, both personally and interpersonally, through traditional Algonquin knowledge and teachings, and what masculinity means.

The Moose Hide Campaign is a grassroots movement of Indigenous and non-Indigenous men and boys who are standing up against violence towards women and children.

Show your commitment to end violence against women and children by taking part in the Moose Hide Campaign National Gathering and Day of Fasting at the Shaw Centre. Includes a ceremony, keynote speakers, men’s and women’s healing circles, and a Walk to End Violence.

Sexual Violence Prevention Week is designed to raise awareness of Algonquin’s commitment to being a safe community that is free of sexual violence, and to provide students with the resources they need to address the warning signs of sexual violence they see in our community. Help us build a culture of safety and consent here at Algonquin College by checking out the events during the week.

Confronting the Attitudes that Contribute to Sexual Harassment and Violence in Our Communities.

December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, marks the anniversary of the murders of 14 young women at l’École Polytechnique de Montreal in 1989. They died because they were women. Algonquin College will be hosting a memorial on this date to remember all those affected by gendered violence, so we as a society can strive for a world without violence and oppression.
