Domestic violence ongoing problem across Vancouver Island during the pandemic SHARE ON: Domestic violence continues to be an issue for families and women throughout the province. Dianne Palmer with the Campbell River and North Island Transition Society says the ongoing pandemic hasn’t helped the situation, with their facility running at full capacity over the last little while. “We are seeing that our transition house is running at capacity. Our services are always running on full. We want people to know that we’re still out there and that there is help still available.” “We are (also) seeing that there is an increase in the severity of the violence that’s going on behind closed doors,” explained Palmer.
