Quarter 1: January - March 2024
Several agencies have been actively addressing issues related to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), such as human trafficking.
Collaborative efforts between the Timmins Police Service and Victim Services resulted in anti-human trafficking presentations in February and March, drawing over 115 individuals. These presentations aimed to raise awareness and educate the community about the issue of human trafficking.
A budget allocation of $25,000 has been earmarked to address IPV. Once a specific initiative or plan for utilizing these funds is determined, a comprehensive report will be provided to Council.
