Title:

Addressing Gender-Based Violence on Campus: “Red Flag” Laws Project

Agreement Number:

26107

Agreement Value:

$172,950.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 29, 2025 - Mar 31, 2027

Description:

This project aims to enhance the campus community’s understanding of and response to Red Flag laws in the context of gender-based violence. It will target key members of the campus community who are most likely to encounter disclosures of gender-based violence. The primary focus will be on students, staff, and faculty—particularly those in roles where they may receive such disclosures, including campus security, wellness services, and student community standards personnel.

Organization:

Public Safety Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of this project are to increase knowledge and understanding for decision-making in Canada's public safety systems by developing educational programming that explains how individuals vulnerable to victimization—and those likely to receive disclosures—can navigate public safety systems in relation to Red Flag laws. The project also aims to improve intersectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration by working with departments, faculties, and student groups to tailor educational and support offerings to community needs. Additionally, it will build community capacity to support victims, offenders, families, and local officials by educating students on Red Flag laws and equipping them to share this knowledge. The project will also provide recommendations to improve policies and legislation at Mount Royal University based on feedback related to gun violence, support services, and education. Ultimately, this initiative will contribute to a safer, more secure, and more resilient Canadian society by preparing students to carry this knowledge into a diverse workforce and broader communities.
