City of Kingston

That Kingston City Council recognize the third week of September as Consent Week. Recognized by many post-secondary institutions and municipalities across Ontario, the timing of Consent Week has been chosen to highlight that, during the first weeks of school, there is a significant increase in sexual violence. Consent is giving permission for something to happen, or agreement to do something, without threat or coercion. Consent is also about setting boundaries, having the freedom to express those boundaries, respecting the boundaries set by others, and being able to accept rejection and move on. The City of Kingston recognizes the efforts of Queen’s University to encourage and foster consent culture and encourages all Kingston residents to do the same.
