Welcome to our new website

We’ve redesigned niagararegion.ca to make it easier to find what you need. We’re still putting on the finishing touches, so over the next few weeks you may notice:

  • Search is still learning. Some results may be incomplete or out of date. Try browsing by topic from the main menu.
  • Some links may not work. Old bookmarks and links may lead to pages that have moved.
  • Pages are still being updated. We’re reviewing content across the site and improving it as we go.

Sexual assault support

Sexual assault is any type of sexual activity or contact that you don't consent to. You deserve support, and help is available 24/7.

You're in control of what happens next. You can:

  • Get medical care and evidence collection (even if you're unsure about reporting)
  • Speak with a crisis counsellor or support advocate
  • Report to police (not mandatory, but they can be a resource)
  • Access follow-up counselling and support services
