The prevention and response to sexual and gender-based violence within post-secondary institutions is an important priority for Mount Royal University’s goal of creating and maintaining a safe and supportive environment in which to learn, live and work. We are contacting you to share opportunities to participate in initiatives to continue to combat and address the significant impacts that gender-based violence has on our community.
What you need to know about the survey
- All Mount Royal students will receive a series of email invitations and reminders to participate in the Provincial Survey on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence. You will receive an email from noreply@legeropinion.com to your mru inbox with the survey link.
- Leger is distributing the survey, collecting and synthesizing responses, and reporting on the results on behalf of the Government of Alberta.
- Your participation is completely voluntary and anonymous. There will be no personal information tied to your responses, and neither Leger nor Mount Royal University will receive any personally identifiable data through the survey.
- Any reports based on this survey will use only group data and will not identify any individual as being affiliated with this project.
- You can opt out of the survey at any time.
- As part of the survey, you will be asked to reflect on past experiences of sexual and gender-based violence, but you will not be asked to provide specific examples or details.
We encourage you to complete this important survey that will help inform future provincial initiatives to address and prevent the issue of gender-based violence on post-secondary campuses. MRU participants will be eligible to receive one of 10 $100 gift cards.
These topics can be distressing to engage with. We encourage you to prioritize your well-being when participating in these initiatives. Dating, Domestic and Sexual Violence Services provides confidential support and information as well as training and education to the campus community.
