Shift Program

The Calgary Bad Date Sheet has been updated. Find it here http://www.shiftcalgary.org/uploads/Bad_Date_Sheet_June_2012.pdf Shift publishes the Calgary Bad Date Sheet so sex workers can share bad experiences and help protect each other. If you are in Calgary, please report any bad dates you have had anonymously and confidentially. You can report online at www.shiftcalgary.org or leave a message on our 24 hour hot-line number: (403) 237- 8171. Staff at Safeworks, Calgary Drop-In Centre, and Shift can also help you to report. Shift provides support, outreach, education, advocacy, referrals, and counseling to individuals involved in, or those who have been involved in, the sex work. Our program is not exit based; therefore exiting is not a requirement to access our services. We recognize that for many, sex work is a choice. Our services are non-judgmental, free to access, and barrier free. If you have any questions, comments or would like more information or services, please feel free to contact us. I look forward to hearing from you! Shift (403) 237-8171 [email protected]

We would like to gather your thoughts to create a booklet on sex workersâ?? rights, voices and choices. If you are a current or former sex worker, please take a moment to fill out this online survey.
