Partnerships with CALACS and ORCC

The University of Ottawa, through the Human Rights Office and supported by a Campus Safety Grant, has partnered with two City of Ottawa community resources: the Centre d’aide et de lutte contre les agressions à caractère sexuel (CALACS) francophone d’Ottawa and the Ottawa Rape Crisis Centre (ORCC).

This initiative enables us to provide access to rapid, specialized support that is free and confidential for members of the University community. These services are available on campus, off campus (on the organizations’ premises) and online.
