“Gender-based violence is a serious and ongoing issue in Canada and it disproportionately affects women and girls,” said Cst. Jocelyn Hey of the Vermilion RCMP. “Places like Vermilion are not immune. It’s important that, as a community, we work toward educating ourselves and supporting survivors of this type of violence.”
