City proclaims Sexual Assault Awareness Week
The City of North Battleford is joining other communities across Saskatchewan by raising flags and awareness to an issue that has been silent too long; sexual assault.
Members of the Battlefords and Area Sexual Assault Centre (BASAC) joined Mayor Ryan Bater for an official flag raising ceremony and the reading of a proclamation designating this week as Sexual Assault Awareness Week in the municipality.
“This is just a small part of what we play in not only raising awareness to the issue of sexual assault but also for the organization (BASAC),” Bater said. “This group does a tremendous amount of work for our community and I respect that.”
