💬 That's a wrap on putting the spotlight on BYSTANDER INTERVENTION strategies for the month of August! Our final intervention is to TAKE NOTES!

Seeing workplace sexual harassment happen can leave you wondering, “What should I say?” or “Should I step in?” Knowing how to respond isn’t always easy, especially in the moment.

That’s why we’re sharing practical strategies to help you feel more confident navigating those uncomfortable situations and supporting a safer workplace.

The SHIFT Project is committed to raising awareness and giving PEI employers and employees the tools they need to have those important conversations and help prevent workplace sexual harassment.

Together, we can build workplaces where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported across Prince Edward Island.

💬No matter what trade you work in, you deserve to feel respected, valued, and safe at work.

When people hear “skilled trades,” they might think of carpenters, electricians, or plumbers. But skilled trades in Canada are so much broader. They include cooks, hairstylists, welders, automotive service technicians, bakers, heavy equipment operators, and so many more.

Workplace sexual harassment has no place in any trade, or any workplace. If you’ve experienced sexual harassment at work, you’re not alone. You have rights, and support is available.

💬 Front-line organizations from across the Island gathered in one space to engage in meaningful dialogue, share knowledge, and strengthen collective understanding around supporting those experiencing workplace sexual harassment.

The First Step Symposium brought together an incredible group of participants for a day grounded in connection, collaboration, and optimism.

By bringing together the people doing this work every day, we were able to map existing supports, identify service gaps, and strengthen the network of organizations supporting workers across PEI.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to such an impactful day!

📝Les élèves de l’Î.-P.-É. posent des questions tellement pertinentes sur le harcèlement sexuel en milieu de travail! Leurs questions sont vraiment réfléchies et, honnêtement, ce sont exactement les questions auxquelles tant d’entre nous ont besoin de réponses.

Their curiosity, perspective, and willingness to engage in these conversations remind us how much this next generation values respect, safety, and positive workplace culture.

Every question is a chance to learn together. By starting these conversations early, we're helping students feel more prepared and confident as they enter the workforce.

💬 What happens when the people supporting workers across PEI come together in one room? Connection, collaboration, and a whole lot of momentum.

The First Step Symposium brought together front-line organizations from across the Island for a day of honest conversation, shared learning, and collective problem-solving.

Together, we explored what support currently looks like for people experiencing workplace sexual harassment: what’s working, where the gaps are, and how we can build stronger connections between the organizations already doing this vital work.
We left with a clearer picture of the support landscape, new connections, and renewed energy to keep moving this work forward.

Because meaningful change starts with coming together, and taking the first step.

🙌Ensemble, nous pouvons tous contribuer à dire tout haut la vérité au sujet de l’enjeu bien réel et urgent du harcèlement sexuel en milieu de travail à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard.

💬The incredibly harmful culture of silence is hurting the hardworking people in our province. No one deserves to suffer in silence, or to experience harm because of poor policy implementation and training.

Together we can all work together to speak the truth, out loud, about the very real and pressing issue of workplace sexual harassment on Prince Edward Island.

🤝You are not alone, and there are people who can help.

📝Here is another great question for another amazing Prince Edward Island student about workplace sexual harassment!

SHIFT has had the privilege of helping students learn how to recognize, prevent, and respond to workplace sexual harassment, equipping them with the knowledge and confidence they need as they enter PEI’s workforce.

By educating, supporting, and empowering young people today, we’re helping build healthier workplaces for tomorrow.

📈 Islanders have told us they often don’t know where to turn for help with workplace harassment. And that's a problem!

That’s why we brought front-line organizations together at The First Step Symposium earlier this year! Through shared learning, collaboration, and mapping existing supports, participants explored ways to strengthen connections and build a more coordinated network for workers across PEI.

This is only the beginning! Stay tuned for more. We are rolling out phase two of this very exciting initiative.🙌
