As part of the Semaine nationale de lutte à l’exploitation sexuelle des mineur·es (March 1–7, 2026), we invite all members of the community to learn more and take action regarding the issue of youth sexual exploitation.

The Ministère de la Sécurité publique entrusted the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale with the mandate to develop training tools and content aimed at preventing sexual exploitation and supporting appropriate intervention with victims. This initiative is part of the Government Action Plan 2021–2026, developed in response to the recommendations of the Commission spéciale sur l’exploitation sexuelle des mineurs.

The goal is to raise awareness among individuals who may come into contact with minors about the importance of detection, referral, and reporting, in accordance with the Youth Protection Act.

To follow this self-paced training: Contrer l'exploitation sexuelle, 

The sexual exploitation of minors is everyone’s responsibility.
Let’s stay informed. Let’s be vigilant. Let’s act together to protect our youth.

"Semaine nationale de lutte à l’exploitation sexuelle des mineur·es"

As part of the “Semaine nationale de lutte à l’exploitation sexuelle des mineur·es”, held from March 1 to 7, 2026, the “Table régionale de concertation de Québec sur l’exploitation sexuelle” presented, on February 26, 2026, the very first edition of its youth art exhibition under the theme “Our Connections in Creation.”

This initiative brought together youth from the Capitale-Nationale region around artistic projects promoting healthy relationships (communication, values, intimacy, personal boundaries). We also highlight the valuable contribution of Rodolfo Condal, a dedicated support worker at Quebec High School, as well as the youth involved in the project, who actively contributed to the reflection and creation of the artworks. Thanks also to the staff of Quebec High School who attended the opening to support the students.

The exhibition is open to the public until March 31, 2026, at Espace Sherpa (130 boulevard Charest East, Québec City).

We warmly invite members of the community to come see the artworks and support youth-led reflection on the prevention of sexual exploitation.

Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day! On February 25, 2026, let’s all wear pink!

Pink Shirt Day began in 2007 when two students in Nova Scotia stood up for a classmate who was bullied for wearing pink. They handed out pink shirts and inspired the whole school to wear pink in support of kindness and inclusion. Today, Pink Shirt Day is celebrated across Canada and around the world as a reminder to stand against bullying and lift each other up. 💗👚

To conclude Hooked on School Days, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to A.S. Johnson School for all the wonderful examples of perseverance shared throughout the week, highlighting the strength, courage, and determination of our students.

Thank you also to all our schools and communities for supporting and celebrating the perseverance of our students each and every day. Together, let’s continue to help their motivation and success grow. 💚✨
