the lotus centre

Lotus Centre staff continue to work with our community partners, Dufferin Child and Family Services and the Headwaters Health Care Centre, in providing a continuum of sexual violence support throughout Dufferin and Caledon. FTP’s Sexual Violence Community Engagement Facilitator has been working to inform and educate local businesses and community groups about sexual violence and the resources available.

In response to Policy/Program Memorandum 166, Keeping Students Safe: Policy Framework for School Board Anti-Sex Trafficking Protocols, the Upper Grand District School Board (UGDSB) committed to promoting student safety by building a culture of caring and taking meaningful, culturally responsive and consistent action to prevent and respond to issues of student safety. As a part of this commitment, presentations were given to all UGDSB grade 7 and 10 students. FTP supported both the development of content as well as the delivery of all Dufferin sessions to students.
