Province commits to funding for second victim services worker in La Loche
In an effort to provide additional and immediate support to residents of La Loche, a second police- based victim services position is being created in the northern community.
“I saw the outstanding work victim services employees are doing in La Loche when I visited in late February, and have no doubt this new position will help meet the significant demand for victims services in the area on an ongoing basis,” Gordon Wyant, Saskatchewan Justice Minister and Attorney General said.
The ministry is committing to $60,000 plus administrative expenses to North Sask. Victim Services Inc. (NSVS) on an annual basis for the new position.
“We are delighted with news of additional funding for a second victim service position in La Loche,” Betsy Kelly, NSVS Executive Director said.
