Sexual Assault Support Services Funding | Friday, January 27, 2023 | Micah Quinn | Bridge City News
Recent stats say 43 per cent of people in Alberta have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime. That’s a staggering 1.8 million people. These numbers come from the Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services.
The group is saying there needs to be more funding from the province for sexual assault support services and trauma counseling. Kristine Cassie, the CEO of the Chinook Sexual Assault Centre in Lethbridge says their numbers are rising for those needing assistance.
According to Stats Canada, in 2021, police-reported sexual assault increased by 21 per cent in Alberta.
Bridge City News reached out to the office of Jeremy Nixon, the minister of seniors, community and social services for comment on the story, but we have yet to hear back.
