Help & Support

Cumberland Village Works has partnered with REES (Respect, Educate, Empower Survivors) to provide online reporting for unwanted sexualized behaviours. REES allows festival-goers, performers, staff and volunteers to Create a Record of the incident and share it with festival organizers. REES also provides information about community-based resources such as sexual assault centres, healthcare and other support services.

REES can be accessed online at any time, year-round. Go to https://www.reescommunity.com/festivals/ and select Concert Series from the drop-down list.
