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.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) is the central agency in Canada that collects information and criminal intelligence on such matters as mass marketing fraud (e.g., telemarketing), advance fee fraud (e.g., West African letters), Internet fraud and identification theft complaints.
Simply put, sextortion is blackmail. It’s when someone threatens to send a sexual image or video of you to other people
if you don’t pay them or provide more sexual content.
Unfortunately, sextortion has been on the rise lately. But there are ways to prevent and fight it.
