Office for Victims of Crime (OVC)

As part of the Victims’ Justice Action Plan, on June 11, 2001, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) became a permanent advisory agency to advise the Attorney General on ways to ensure that the principles set out in the Victims’ Bill of Rights are respected. The OVC also offers advise with respect to:

  • the development, implementation and maintenance of provincial standards for services for victims of crime;
  • the use of the Victims' Justice Fund to provide and improve services for victims of crime;
  • research and education on the treatment of victims of crime and ways to prevent further victimization;
  • matters of legislation and policy on the treatment of victims of crime and on the prevention of further victimization.
