Perth County OPP’s West Perth detachment are getting $150,000 to support victims and survivors of crime.
Perth-Wellington MPP Matthew Rae announced the funding on Tuesday.
Rae said in a media release the provincial government continues to invest in the health and safety of rural communities and ensuring victims of crime receive support they deserve.
The grant program supports victims and survivors of intimate partner violence and/or domestic violence, hate crime, gender-based violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, elder abuse and other crimes.
The funding is delivered through the Victim Support Grant program and is part of a larger $3 million investment.
The Victim Support Grant is part of Ontario’s Guns, Gangs and Violence Reduction Strategy and works with Ontario’s $307 million Anti-Human Trafficking Strategy and the Combating Human Trafficking Act, 2021.
