"Don't Be THAT Guy"
This campaign was launched in September of 2011, and is a partnership between the Saskatoon Police Service, the Saskatoon Sexual Assault and Information Centre, SK. Liquor and Gaming Association and Crime Stoppers. This poster campaign was originated in Edmonton by the SAVE coalition (sexualassaultvoices.com). The goal of this campaign is to identify that sexual activity without consent is sexual assault. Persons must be sober to give legal consent. For more information contact us at 244-2294, or go to sexualassaultvoices.com.

confidentiality
Our services are confidential, callers can choose to remain anonymous. The only situations where we cannot keep information confidential is if the person is under 16 years of age and has been abused or if a person calls our line saying they are going to harm themselves or harm someone else. In these situations we must inform the proper authorities.
