Need Help?
As our isolation time continues, we realise that there are vulnerable people within our community that may need help.
We are still here to take anonymous tips about domestic abuse and issues where a person’s safety is in jeopardy.
We have reached out to our community partners and they provided us a list of all the support services that are currently functioning in the Greater Victoria area. The list is split into categories of care and explains the way an organisation is conducting their work.

Understanding Youth and Gangs
Hey Greater Victoria
VicPD are asking for your help as they work to identify a man who randomly attacked a young Black man on a BC Transit bus.
Just after 4 p.m. on June 19th, 2020, Patrol officers were flagged down by two men in the 1100-block of Johnson Street. One of the men told officers he had just been randomly struck by a man he did not know while on a BC Transit bus. The victim’s injuries were non-life-threatening and he did not require medical attention.
Officers learned that the attack was captured on video aboard the bus. On the video, the victim is seen entering the bus and moving towards a seat. The suspect stands and strikes the victim without warning. Those nearby on the bus intervene and the suspect is pushed off the bus.
The suspect is described as a Caucasian man, 40-50 years old with a medium to heavy build. He has blond hair. He was wearing sunglasses, a black hat with a logo on it, a blue shirt with a logo on it, tan shorts, white socks and black sneakers. Two still images of the suspect are below.
Police are investigating this as a potential hate crime. Further investigation, including identifying the suspect, is required to determine potential charges for recommendation to Crown.
