The provincial government announced its continued support for central and northern Saskatchewan programs that help victims of abuse and interpersonal violence.
This year, the La Ronge Native Women’s Council, Northern Transportation and Support, Prince Albert Safe Shelter for Women, Prince Albert YWCA and Prince Albert Mobile Crisis will receive $1.7 million. The funding will be divided between the programs and comes through the Interpersonal Violence and Abuse Program. Interpersonal violence occurs between people who know each other.
“Responding to violence and abuse in this province is everyone’s responsibility,” Prince Albert Northcote MLA Victoria Jurgens said on behalf of Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant in a statement.
“With this support, these important programs will continue to deliver much needed assistance to northern residents who find themselves dealing with interpersonal violence in their lives.”
