Important update: Rethinking Justice for Survivors of Sexual Violence

On 19 November 2025, the Federal Ombudsperson released a major systemic investigation report highlighting the experiences of survivors of sexual violence within Canada’s criminal-justice system.
Canada

This report:
- lifts up the voices of survivors and victims who shared their stories over an 18-month process.
- looks across 10 key themes, from reporting to police and investigations, to trial fairness and access to therapeutic records.
- includes recommendations and calls to reform how services, supports and accountability are delivered for survivors.

At Caribou Centre, we stand with survivors and welcome this important work. We believe in fair, compassionate responses, better access to support services, and stronger systems that respect dignity and choice.

We encourage our community to read or share the executive summary and chapter-infographics to learn how we can support meaningful change together.

Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and free from harm. If you suspect abuse, taking action can change a child’s life.

How to Report Abuse in Alberta:

If a child is in immediate danger, call 911
If a child discloses abuse, call your local police non-emergency line
If you suspect abuse in the home, call the Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-387-5437 (KIDS)


Reporting is not just the right thing to do—it’s your legal responsibility. Together, we can be the voice that protects children and prevents abuse.

Did you know?
Under Canada’s Criminal Code, online luring is when someone uses chat, messaging, or video platforms to connect with a child under 18 for the purpose of committing a sexual offence. This can happen through games, apps, or any space with chat features.

If someone online says or asks something that makes your child feel “weird”—they should stop talking to them immediately and tell a safe adult.
Remind kids not to share pictures with people they play against in games.
Ask them to always get your permission before sharing pictures or video chatting online.
Most importantly, let your child know they can always come to you for help—without fear of getting into trouble.
Together, we can help keep kids safe online.

There are over 40 Child & Youth Advocacy Centres (CYACs) across Canada, and in Alberta we have a network of nine CYACs working together to make sure children, youth, and families impacted by abuse have access to the support they need.

Though CYACs are often located in larger communities, smaller and rural communities are covered too, often by more than one CYAC, so every child has a safe place to share their story, no matter where they live.

Because every child deserves hope, healing, and protection.

In Alberta, 67.5% of people report experiencing abuse before the age of 15. Together, we can change this.
Abuse can take many forms—physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect. Recognizing the signs is critical, yet too often suspicions go unreported out of fear or uncertainty.

If you suspect a child is being abused, know this: reporting is not only the right thing to do—it’s also your legal duty.

Every child deserves to grow up safe, supported, and free from harm. Be the voice that makes a difference!

Improving coping strategies, fostering resiliency, and processing trauma for children and youth.

The Caribou Child & Youth Centre is a child advocacy centre that serves children and youth (under 18) who have experienced sexual,physical, or psychological abuse, exploitation, and/or neglect. We also work with those who have witnessed other types of trauma or violence.

We have a committed, comprehensive multidisciplinary team that works together to provide the best possible services for children and their families. Intervention and treatment in child abuse cases is strengthened when agencies work toward common goals, which include support services for the child, and holding offenders accountable. Our team consists of: RCMP, Child Family Services, Pace, Victim Services, as well as Crown Prosecution.

The Caribou Centre was designed to provide a safe and comfortable environment where children could disclose abuse, thus, reducing the trauma and anxiety for these young people. The centre seeks to provide children and their families with one single point of contact to assist them throughout the process; from in initial disclosure, through investigation, court proceedings, and any ongoing support or therapeutic treatment that is necessary. Our goal is to ensure that children are not re-victimized by the very systems designed to protect them.
