We Are There For You When You Need Us Most
The Bonnyville Victim Services Unit has been diligently serving our district for over twenty-five years. Our outreach area includes such communities as the Town of Bonnyville, MD of Bonnyville, Glendon, LaCorey, Fort Kent, as well as the Kehewin First Nations. We are a non-profit, charitable society that works in partnership with the RCMP to provide emotional support, referral information and practical aid for those whom tragedy has struck. Our highly trained, caring members provide free, compassionate service around the clock as mis-fortunate cannot tell time.
