A new mobile sexual assault centre has made its way into the community.
Last week, the province announced an investment of $687,000 to help establish new sexual violence support services in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.
Executive Director for Victim Services of Leeds & Grenville, Sonya Jodoin says this is something that was a long time coming for the area, and they are ecstatic to be able to provide this kind of service.
“We started having conversations that shifted it towards – what if we could provide services that were more responsive to a rural environment, and kind of create a different model,” Jodoin said. “And hence this is the result of all those conversations.”
