The Government of British Columbia, Encana and the Ending Violence Association of B.C. (EVA BC) have partnered to create and launch a new training video that brings the successful “Be More Than a Bystander” campaign aimed at ending violence against women to the resource industry.

Be More Than a Bystander is an educational and awareness campaign that addresses violence against women and girls by providing tools and practical ideas about how to communicate that violence is not acceptable.

EVA BC produced the 30-minute video. The Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Responsible for Labour and Encana each contributed $20,000 for video development. The resource sector is an important part of the provincial economy employing thousands of British Columbians.
