Attend the new Sexual Misconduct Support and Resource Centre Community Information Sessions

The Sexual Misconduct Support and Resource Centre (SMSRC) is hosting live information sessions to provide updates and details about its various programs, services, and initiatives. All members of the wider Defence community affected by sexual misconduct, including current and former Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members, Department of National Defence (DND) public service employees, Cadets, Junior Canadian Rangers, and family members, aged 16 and older, are welcome to attend these events. This is also an opportunity for attendees to ask questions anonymously.
