Our Events
Events are a powerful way to bring our community together while raising awareness and funds to support survivors of sexualized violence. Each year, VSAC proudly hosts three cornerstone fundraising events—and we also welcome community members to host their own fundraisers on our behalf.

Triathlon of Compassion

Since 1993, the Triathlon of Compassion has been one of Victoria’s most community-driven triathlons and a major annual fundraiser for the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre. Hosted by Human Powered Racing in support of VSAC, the TOC welcomes athletes of all ages and abilities to come together for a day of determination, fun, and solidarity.
Adults can take on the sprint-distance race (500m swim / 20K bike / 5K run), while kids aged 6–15 participate in the exciting Kids of Steel races. The TOC is also part of the Kersten Orthodontics VI Youth Triathlon Series, alongside the Victoria Youth Triathlon and the Cowichan Challenge.
Whether you participate, cheer on racers, or donate, the TOC is more than just a race—it’s a community tradition that fuels hope and healing.
Join us for the next Triathlon of Compassion on Sunday, June 21, 2026, at the Esquimalt Recreation Centre. Early registration is now open! Register here to join Team VSAC, and start a fundraiser to make a meaningful difference in the lives of local survivors.
Our Event Sponsors
Trivia Night Fundraiser
Since 2023, our annual Trivia Night has quickly become a favourite gathering for community members who love a little brainpower mixed with laughter and fun. Hosted in partnership with Caffè Fantastico and MC Sam Ferraby, the evening features three rounds of lively general knowledge trivia, engaging conversation, and a warm atmosphere.
Entry is by donation (suggested $15–20), with every dollar going directly to VSAC’s work supporting survivors and ending gender-based violence.
Get your team together and join us for this year’s Trivia Night!
Stay tuned — details about our next Trivia Night Fundraiser are coming soon!
