About Us
In 1987, three Victim Crisis Assistance & Referral Services (VCARS) pilot projects were funded in the province by the Ministry of the Solicitor General. The three pilot projects were designated in Kingston, serving Frontenac County; Sault Ste. Marie, serving Algoma County; and Brantford serving Brant County.
In 1991, in effort to promote a community based-owned program, the Ministry of the Solicitor General began a co-sponsorship with Woodland Cultural Centre.
In 1992, the Ministry of the Solicitor General in co-sponsorship with Woodland Cultural Centre invited representatives from the community to participate in an Advisory Committee capacity to advise the Ministry on planning, policy, and program issues related to the development and delivery of the Victim Crisis Assistance and Referral Service program.
As of April 1, 1995, Brant Victim Crisis Assistance and Referral Service was incorporated as a non-profit organization with a Board of Directors consisting of representatives of our diverse community.
In September 1998, the Board of Directors elected to change the name of Brant Victim Crisis Assistance and Referral Service to Victim Services of Brant to enable expansion of the mandate to enhance service provided to victims.
As of April 1, 1999, the Victim Service office relocated to the Brantford Police Service. As well, Victim Services has sub-offices located in Brantford Police; Brant County 0.P.P.; Brant County Police Services, Paris; and Six Nations Police Services.
Grand opening and ribbon cutting of the new Victim Services of Brant location at the Brantford Police Station, took place on May 10, 1999.
Victim Services of Brant established the Court Assistance Program in 2000 with funding from community donations and the Brant United Way. In 2002 the SupportLink Program was established with funding from the Ministry of the Attorney General, Rogers AT&T and Ericsson Canada. |
