Girls Resist Kingston

sans but lucratif

The purpose of this study is to test how well a recently adapted healthy relationships and sexual assault education program (originally developed for university women) works for teen girls between the ages of 14 and 18 years old (who have not yet graduated high school). This program is designed to provide increase girls’ ability to detect danger cues when they are present in boys’ or men’s behaviour or in social situations, decrease the thoughts and feelings which might get in the way of girls acknowledging that the situation is risky, and provide information and skills to strengthen their ability to defend themselves verbally and physically against coercive boys and men. The program also provides information and activities for girls to explore their own sexual values and their right to protect their boundaries. When it was tested with young women ages 17-24, the program increased girls’ confidence and reduced victimization. The information you provide will help researchers to determine how well this program works, and if necessary, how the program can be improved. We are recruiting high school young women (14-18 years old) to participate in this study. This study is to test how well a healthy relationships and sexual assault education program works to empower young women. This study is open to all self-identified girls and young women of any sexual identity. You do not need to have dating or sexual experience to participate.

Friends of the Penitentiary Museum

sans but lucratif

The "Friends of the Penitentiary Museum Inc." (FPM) was formed in the late 1990s. Its job: to assist with the development and operation of the only museum in Canada dedicated solely to the presentation and interpretation of the history of Canada's federal penitentiaries. The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) realized that the museum, originally established at the Correctional Staff College (Ontario) in 1967, provided a very positive link with the community at the local as well as national and international levels. To ensure the museum's continuing operation in a climate of tightening budgets, something had to be done.

Driftwood Theatre

sans but lucratif

A (MUSICAL) MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM Shakespeare’s most popular comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the perfect outdoor summer theatre experience for the entire family. Four lovers and one group of hapless tradespeople experience a chaos-filled night in the forest as they stumble across the mischievous Puck and the magical denizens of the faery kingdom. “It’s about community, companionship and love,” remarks Driftwood Artistic Director Jeremy Smith. “Dream reminds us of the importance of putting down our devices, stepping away from our screens, and making the kind of tangible connections which encourage empathy, understanding and respect.” Using Shakespeare’s text A (musical) Midsummer Night’s Dream is a rocking, rolling, funktastic, jazz-infused musical celebration of theatrical proportions; with everything performed live and entirely A Cappella. Originally created in 2004 and performed again in 2012, A (musical) Midsummer Night’s Dream reunites composers Kevin Fox (The Swingle Singers, Cadence) and Tom Lillington (Nathaniel Dett Chorale, Hampton Avenue) with director Jeremy Smith.
