The project will increase knowledge of workplace sexual harassment for young people who are entering the workforce, or who have recently entered the workforce, particularly those in the hospitality industry or precarious work situations in rural central Saskatchewan. The project will distribute materials to young people through both formal and informal channels and offer workshops through educational institutes and community partners.

The project will raise awareness and educate people throughout the province on how to prevent and respond to sexual harassment in the workplace through accessible plain language legal resources. The project will offer free workplace sexual harassment training for employers and vulnerable populations across PEI and will develop an accessible, interactive online navigation tool.

This project aims to educate and empower vulnerable populations and small and medium-sized employers that employ newcomers. Workplace sexual harassment will be addressed through comprehensive trauma-informed courses, inclusive workshops and information sessions, navigation services, and an accessible online portal.

The project will enhance access to public legal education, information and resources for vulnerable Saskatchewan workers through tailored training sessions and community outreach, and will support Saskatchewan employers in developing and implementing policies and procedures to prevent and address sexual harassment in the workplace. Finally, the project will enhance lawyers' ability to offer trauma-informed support to workers who have experienced sexual harassment.

The project will help provincially regulated trucking and logistics employers prevent and address workplace sexual harassment through the creation of training modules and resources. Training and resources will be introduced to the industry through a series of educational webinars.

The project will create and disseminate PLEI resources on sexual harassment for those in the skilled trades sector. The project will partner with Unifor to raise awareness of mechanisms for support when experiencing or witnessing sexual harassment at work and analyze Unifor's existing training to ensure appropriate workplace responses to complainants. The project will raise employer awareness of their responsibilities under Canada's legal framework, and conduct research to increase understanding of sexual harassment within the skilled trades sector.

This project will partner with the Canadian and Ontario Society of Professional Engineers to prevent and address sexual harassment across the sector nationally.

A multi-pronged evaluation strategy will be implemented to assess the project outcomes.

The project aims to improve workplace safety and promote gender equity for women entering skilled trades by equipping women with knowledge of their rights, employer responsibilities, and avenues for support should they experience sexual harassment or any form of violence.

This contribution supports Muskowekwan First Nation Historic Site in planning and hosting a Survivors Gathering with a sharing circle session in Saskatoon. The Gathering brings together Survivors, Elders, families, friends, community members, support workers, cultural knowledge keepers, and others impacted by the Muscowequan Indian Residential School to recognize their contributions and discuss how their experiences can be commemorated and remembered through its preservation and designation. It supports also the continued engagement with the Muskowekwan Historical Site Group and Survivors to identify and confirm a final plaque text for the bronze commemorative plaque that will be unveiled and installed at a later date.
