💬 The second phase of the First Step Symposium has wrapped up, but the work to reduce workplace harassment continues!

Through our community conversations, we brought together diverse perspectives and lived experiences, reinforcing the importance of listening, learning, and working together to create meaningful change.

We’re grateful to everyone who shared their time, knowledge, and voice. The insights gathered throughout Phase 2 will help shape the next steps and guide the continued work of this initiative.

While there’s still much to do, we’re encouraged by the momentum we’re building together and excited for what’s ahead. Stay tuned for details of Phase 3, which will be rolling out in February 2027!

If you have experienced workplace sexual harassment on Prince Edward Island, we want you to know this: you are not alone, and work is being done to create change.

💬Across PEI, important steps are being taken to raise awareness, educate our communities, and put measures in place to prevent and eradicate workplace sexual harassment.

We have just completed Phase 2 of The First Step Symposium on PEI, bringing together community-facing individuals from one end of the Island to the other. These are people who are committed to learning, taking action, and being part of the solution.

Because everyone deserves to live and work in a community where they feel safe, respected, and free from the harm of workplace sexual harassment.

Change starts with the first step. And together, we are taking it. 💪

October is Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month! A healthy workplace is more than a nice atmosphere or a team that gets along. It’s a workplace where people feel respected, supported, safe to speak up, and confident that concerns will be taken seriously.

Here are 5 signs of a healthy workplace:

💬People feel safe speaking up.
Employees can ask questions, share concerns, disagree, or raise an issue without fear of retaliation or being dismissed.

💬Respect is part of the culture.
People are treated with dignity regardless of their role, identity, background, or position within the organization.

💬Boundaries are respected.
Healthy workplaces recognize that everyone has limits, and those boundaries are respected around communication, workload, time, and personal space.

💬 Concerns are taken seriously.
When someone experiences or witnesses harmful behaviour, there are clear ways to report it and people know they will be listened to and supported.

💬Leaders model healthy behaviour.
Creating a healthy workplace starts at the top. Leaders set the tone by communicating respectfully, addressing harmful behaviour, and taking responsibility for workplace culture.

At SHIFT, we know that preventing workplace harassment starts with understanding what healthy workplaces look like, and recognizing when something isn’t right.

💬Throughout Phase 2 of the First Step Symposium, our community conversations brought forward thoughtful perspectives, shared experiences, and a strong commitment to reducing the harm of workplace harassment.

Bringing together people with different experiences and expertise reminded us that meaningful change happens when we listen, learn, and work together. The conversations may have wrapped up from phase two, but the work is far from over!

What we heard will help shape the next phase of this work, and we’re grateful to everyone who contributed their time, knowledge, and voice along the way.

There’s still a lot to do. But there’s also real momentum, and we’re excited about what comes next. Stay tuned for Phase 3. Details coming soon!

💬World Mental Health Day 2026: “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.”

This year’s theme reminds us that listening to lived experience is only the beginning.

By listening to Islanders who have experienced workplace sexual harassment, we can better understand the impacts on mental health and help shape more responsive resources and support.

Stay tuned for more information of phase 3 of our First Step Symposium! We are very excited to share these new and exciting resources with you.
