Rose Breakfast

Start your day with YWCA Edmonton’s Rose Breakfast hosted in the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald’s beautiful Empire Ballroom.

Take in an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation about the growing impact of technology-facilitated sexual violence and the role we all play in preventing it. Hear an inspiring keynote address from Carol Todd, whose story underscores the urgent need to address the harms that occur in online spaces and their very real consequences offline. Together, we’ll explore how education, early intervention, and compassionate support can help empower youth, support survivors, and create safer communities.

Your support of the Rose Campaign helps fund critical prevention and recovery programs that build a more equitable future for everyone.
