Call to Action # 40: Justice (25-42)

Funding to support programs and services that assist victims of crime

May 30, 2019

Manitoba Victim Services partnered with Eyaa-keen Healing Centre and Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) to offer support of Indigenous Elders at meetings with victims and surviving family members.
Provided more than $400,000 in funding to support programs and services that assist victims of crime, including $100,000 for Candace House. Funding enabled them to continue providing needed comfort to the families of homicide victims and others who are navigating the criminal justice system. This also include providing enhanced supports such as access to Indigenous Elders and travel costs for family members of homicide victims to travel to court to observe sentencings.
