ABOUT US

Soldiers of Creation is a gender inclusive Social Enterprise focused on creating a safe space for survivors and allies of sexual assault to connect, educate, and empower each other. 

We understand everyone heals differently so our goal is to provide survivors with as many options as possible to suit their individual healing needs. We design and host a variety of workshops while teaming up with local facilitators to provide community members with options of alternative methods of healing; some may wish to go the clinical route but want tools to fill the void between sessions. We also have some creative initiatives we run with different creative communities in hopes to preserve those areas, while creating positive dialogue within our own community.

Our Core Values

Creating a safe space for the community to thrive.

Creating space for positive dialogue.

We do NOT tolerate any kind of discriminatory behaviour. We are gender inclusive, meaning we must hold space for everyone, and we cannot claim to be inclusive then exclude minorities that already struggle to find a place of belonging.
