The mission of the Calgary Action Committee's Against Violence is to work towards a violence free community. This mission is met by promoting co-ordination among community stakeholders, determining needs, encouraging community involvement, speaking out against violence, and providing information about alternatives to violence. ACAV is not a direct intervention agency. If you are in an abusive relationship please consult the available Community Resources . ACAV's mandate is to implement the recommendations contained in the Task Force Report in collaboration with existing coalitions and organizations in the Calgary area.
Work continues on all of the recommendations to make Calgary a safer place to live.
Since its inception ACAV has moved far beyond the mandate of Mayor's Task Force Recommendations. ACAV has increasingly become an integral agency within the Calgary community committed to promoting and facilitating the creation of a city with positive alternatives to violence in place.
