The fourth year students at the University of Manitoba’s Northern Social Work Program are hosting a community event this weekend for one of their classes.

 

Sariviea Ellsworth says the focus of the event will be on toxic masculinity, and she explains the reason why the class chose this topic.

 

“I think this is something that we wanted to highlight because it affects both females and males. We wanted to be able to host an event that can be for everybody so that was the reason we aimed at this topic in particular.”

 

The event itself will include viewing a documentary and discussing how the community can get involved in addressing this issue.

 

The community event will be held this Sunday afternoon from 1 to 3 at the TRCC multipurpose room.
