The program is available to anyone on campus, any time of day. Request a Safe Walk on the OC Alert app or call 403.556.8224 and one of the security guards will meet you at your location and walk with you to your office, vehicle or other requested campus location.

Respect on Campus Program

The Respect on Campus Program helps build an even stronger campus culture where everyone feels valued and is free from workplace Bullying, Abuse, Harassment, and Discrimination. It provides organizations with a standard tool, common language, and practices while improving team communication and productivity. This program aligns with the College’s values and also meets the obligation under the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety act, regulations and code to ensure all employees receive training related to violence and harassment. All staff, faculty, and students are required to complete the Respect on Campus program as scheduled.
