Victim Services Huron and Victim Services Bruce Grey Perth are announcing a slight realignment of their local service outlets.
As of May 1, 2024, Victim Services Huron will join with Victim Services Perth to be under one umbrella of service. The new agency will be known as Victim Services Huron Perth.
The realignment will also mean Victim Services Bruce Grey Perth will become Victim Services Bruce Grey.
According to a media release from Victim Services, this will result in a "stronger, more comprehensive support network for victims of crime and tragic circumstances, ensuring that individuals and families receive the highest level of support and care across the regions."
Services offered by Victim Services will continue uninterrupted during the transition.
