Workshop Announcement: Supporting Survivors of Sexualized Violence Training
presented in partnership with the Saskatoon Sexual Assault and Information Centre, September 7, 2021 from 1-4pm (online)
Supporting Survivors of Sexualized Violence Training (SST) is a program created by SSAIC and designed to train professionals and community members alike to receive disclosures and support survivors in a compassionate and trauma-informed way.
Survivors of sexualized violence have experienced a trauma, and deserve to be treated with care and compassion. Survivors report that the way they are supported when they first disclose has a significant impact on their self-worth, resilience, and healing. With this training, we hope to equip as many people as possible with the tools to best communicate, understand, and guide them to their next steps to begin their healing.

SaskMusic Presents: In Conversation with Crystal Shawanda
Join us Tuesday, July 13 at 7pm (online) for a special conversation with Juno Award winning performer, Crystal Shawanda!
Crystal Shawanda is an Ojibway/Odawa/Potawatomi artist with True North Records, from the Wiikwemkoong First Nation, on Manitoulin Island, Ontario. She began singing when she 3, and recorded her first album in Nashville when she was 13. A multiple JUNO Nominee and winner, CCMA winner, Canadian Radio Music Awards winner, and multiple winner of the APCMAs. Making the switch several years ago from country to blues, she has had multiple Maple Blues awards nominations, and her album "Churchhouse Blues" stayed on the Roots Music Report charts for 36 weeks. Crystal Shawanda is the highest charting Indigenous artist in the Billboard BDS Era, and is the highest charting Canadian female artist for a solo performance on American country radio to date. Crystal is also a producer and the CEO of New Sun Music, the only Indigenous-owned record label to chart a song on mainstream radio. She has also been a board member of Nike N7 since 2008, which has granted millions of dollars to Indigenous youth across Canada and America.
