Victims and survivors of crime have been through traumatic experiences, but many use their personal resilience to move beyond their victimization and to create positive change.

Victims and Survivors of Crime Week is about raising awareness about issues facing victims and survivors of crime and the services, programs and laws in place to help them and their families.

Throughout Canada, countless dedicated people work with victims and survivors of crime every day. Service providers and criminal justice professionals give information and meaningful support to victims and survivors and their families as they navigate the criminal justice system.

Services for victims and survivors of crime are available right here in Saskatoon. Please visit http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cj-jp/victims-victimes/vsd-rsv/sch-rch.aspx.

Please watch my video as I spoke up in the House of Commons last week for the Demkiw family.

It’s been three years since police made an arrest in the death of Dwayne Demkiw, who went missing in Alberta in 2015. For Demkiw’s parents in Saskatoon, their search for justice and closure continues.The case isn’t scheduled to go to trial until 2019 – four years since Dwayne’s disappearance.
