What Victim Services of Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry and Akwesasne does

Victim Services of Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry and Akwesasne (operating as Victim Services of S.D.G. & A.) is a non-profit charitable organization incorporated and operating in Ontario, Canada, that delivers crisis intervention, safety planning, court navigation, and referral services to victims of crime and tragic circumstances. Founded in 2006 and headquartered at 132 Second Street East, Unit 104, Cornwall, Ontario, the organization became a 24/7 operation in July 2009 and serves the Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Akwesasne, and Prescott-Russell regions through a partnership-based model with Cornwall Police Service, Ontario Provincial Police, Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service, RCMP, and emergency services. All core services are free, confidential, and delivered bilingually in English and French.

The organization operates six programs: the Victim Crisis Assistance Ontario (VCAO) Program, the court-mandated Partner Assault Response (PAR) Program, the Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Counselling Program (administered province-wide on behalf of the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services since April 1, 2023), the Family Court Support Worker Program, Public Education & Outreach, and the Justice Canada-funded Human Trafficking Intensive Case Management Program. The ICE program provides up to $2,000 per child/youth victim and $1,500 per impacted family member in counselling funding, while the PAR program charges income-based fees to court-mandated participants.

Revenue is derived primarily from annual core funding from the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (effective April 2022), supplemented by Ministry of the Attorney General funding for the PAR Program, Justice Canada funding for the human trafficking pilot, charitable donations (registered charity 82626 3527 RR0001), and modest PAR participant fees. The organization has no proprietary technology platforms, no app, and no public API. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors chaired by Marc Hemmerick and operated with a small administrative team including Executive Assistant/Office Manager Kathryn McDonald. No private equity, venture capital, or parent-company ownership is present; the entity is community-based and not-for-profit.
