More funding for sexual assault centres across Alberta
As you have heard on BCN, the province is also investing 10 million dollars over the next few years to beef up support for 15 Sexual Assault Centres across Alberta. Kristine Cassie, the CEO of Chinook Sexual Assault Centre, says the extra funding will be invested to increase capacity. She also says the money will help to provide the necessary treatment through therapy and crisis support for more people who need it. Alberta’s Minister of Children and Family Services, Searle Turton, says that with these funds will guarantee access for Albertans who need to use the centres.
