Safe Harbour training to be offered
The Town of Ladysmith, Ladysmith Downtown Business Association and Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce are co-hosting a training session next month that will help create more safe, welcoming locations in our community.
Provincial Safe Harbour: Respect for All program training will take place Wednesday, Feb. 18 from 7-9 p.m. upstairs at the Ladysmith Legion. RSVP by Feb. 13 to info@ladysmithdowntown.com or call Teresa at 250-245-2277. Please provide all participants names as well as your business name for certification.
Safe Harbour: Respect for All is about creating opportunities for businesses, institutions, agencies and municipalities to celebrate our differences, helping to create safer, more welcoming communities that support diversity and reject discrimination.
The Safe Harbour program was originally created by the Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society
Each Safe Harbour-certified location displays a window decal, certificate and other signage announcing to the community that their management and staff welcome and support newcomers, visible minorities, people with disabilities, youth, seniors and other diverse groups. Staff at these certified locations are prepared to offer immediate and temporary safe refuge for anyone facing mistreatment or discrimination.
