In this episode, Zoey James, Senior Program Manager at White Ribbon, sits down with Andrew Peirson (BC Lions), Jake Ceresna (Edmonton Elks) and Maxime Rouyer (BC Lions) to talk about Elevating Action – a national partnership working to end gender-based violence and promote healthier masculinities, safer locker rooms and more respectful workplaces and communities.

Since 2023, Elevating Action has been training peer leaders across Canada to facilitate conversations that challenge gender-based violence, harmful stereotypes and the “man box” – from the field to the shop floor.
