The victim fine surcharge is a legislative surcharge applied to all fines. The program provides victims and witnesses with courtroom orientation, information about the justice process, and court accompaniment. The program also seek to act as liaison on behalf of victim/witnesses with police and Crowns, provide referrals to community agencies for counseling &/or other support services, provide a public education and coordinating function for agencies and other government bodies within the community, and invite the participation of community members through the operation of an active volunteer program.
The program operates on a priority system and service is provided to those victims/witnesses who exhibit acute trauma. To date, the largest groups supported are victims/witnesses of wife assault, sexual assault and child abuse.
