Victim Services

Victim Services is a free and confidential client-centered support service for victims and survivors of crime. Services are tailored to meet the needs of each victim of crime – whether it is deciding to report an incident to the police, seeking guidance through the court process, or seeking follow-up after sentencing.

We can help you explore your options, provide information, and support you in making a decision. Accessing Victim Services is voluntary. You may decide that you need some or all the services – the choice is always yours. All victims are treated with courtesy, compassion, and respect.

Victim Services can help you with:

  • general information and guidance through the criminal justice system
  • providing information on what is happening with your specific case
  • preparing a Victim Impact Statement and/or Victim Registration if you wish to complete one
  • identifying and referring you to specialized community resources
  • providing emotional support as you prepare to go through court
  • accessing financial assistance for eligible victims and survivors of crime

Victim Assistance Fund

The Victim Assistance Fund is a special-purpose fund maintained with revenue from victim fine surcharges. It was established to support community-based projects and activities that provide services and assistance to victims of crime. This includes:

  • training aimed at sensitizing community resource workers to the needs and circumstances of victims of crime,
  • direct services that assist victims through crisis response, personal support, follow-up assistance, victim information and systems referral,
  • public awareness and information on the rights and responsibilities of victims, available services, the criminal justice system and its procedures, and any issues relating to victims of crime,
  • research projects on the best practice of addressing issues faced by victims of crime across Canada and the development of strategies that will best support Nunavummiut who have been harmed by crime.

The Community Justice Division issues a call for proposals each year for projects and activities to support through the Victims Assistance Fund.
