Consent Week at Fleming College: September 14–18
Consent Week is happening at Fleming College from September 14 to 18, 2026, with a full week of events, activities and opportunities to learn more about consent, healthy relationships, communication and respect.
Consent is about more than saying “yes” or “no.” It’s about communicating openly, respecting boundaries and making sure everyone involved feels comfortable, respected and heard.
Throughout Consent Week, students are invited to take part in activities both on campus and online. Whether you want to learn something new, ask questions or simply get involved, there are plenty of opportunities to participate.
