“Loblaw was proud to partner with Victim Services Toronto in the launch of the Ask for Angela campaign. 

Our training program, co-developed with VST, has empowered our employees to appropriately support individuals who feel unsafe.

The impact of the program cannot be underestimated - it saves lives.
