Victims of Crime Funding

A local agency is getting support to help aboriginal people who are victims of crime.

Weechi-ti-te-win Family Services is receiving 192-thousand dollars from the province's aboriginal victims support grant program to fund a variety of initiatives.
Lori Flinders is a director of the agency and says all of the programs are bases on community needs.

David Zimmer, Ontario's Parliamentary Assistant to the Attorney General, made the funding announcement during a recent visit to the area.
