We went to the Civic Auditorium for a swim before coming home, Sunday, Feb. 22nd we joined the Brownies, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts at the morning service at the Orono United Church. As part of the service, People are sometimes the inno victims of violent crime. This is what Ontario is doing to help compensate them. Here in Ontario, we have a law called "The Compensation for Victims of Crime Act." It is administered by the Criminal Injuries Compensatibn Board. Happily, not too many people need to use it. But when someone is injured or killed by a crime of violence which is an offence against the Criminal Code of Canada, your Ontario Government may award compensation compensation to the victim, a person responsible for supporting the victim, or the dependants dependants of the victim. Among the crimes for which compensation compensation may be awarded are murder, wounding, wounding, assault and rape. And victims do not need to be the persons against whom the crime was originally directed. People killed or injured while preventing or attemptingto prevent a crime against another person, arresting or attempting to arrest someone committing such a crime, or assisting a law-enforcement officer may also receive compensation. Compensation may be awarded for: • expenses incurred as a result of death or • injury, . • monetary loss incurred because of the 1 victim's inability to work, • monetary loss incurred by dependants as a result of the victim's death. Compensation may also be awarded for other results of violent crime. Applications for compensation must be made within one year of the injury or death, but the applicant should apply as soon as possible-not wait for a court to convict the alleged criminal. For enquiries, an application form, or a brochure explaining the Act in detail, contact: Criminal.
