The Ontario Victim Services Secretariat (OVSS) of the Ministry of the Attorney General is launching an Aboriginal Victims Support Grant Program. This new program is an investment in improving services to Aboriginal victims of crime by supporting the delivery of services by Aboriginal communities and organizations.

The Ministry of the Attorney General has committed to working with Aboriginal  communities and organizations under Ontario’s New Approach to Aboriginal Affairs to provide equitable, coordinated, effective and responsive criminal justice services to all Aboriginal men, women, children and youth in Ontario.

A total of $2 million in one-time funding will be awarded to 20 Aboriginal organizations through the Aboriginal Victims Support Grant Program, for local projects that improve community-based services for victims of crime, provide services to victims in remote communities and offer resources to meet community healing needs.
