Premier John Horgan visited the Surrey Women's Centre Friday and pledged to make support services more accessible for victims of domestic and sexual violence. He acknowledges more money is needed but says the cash should help cut wait times in the short-term. The majority of the funding will be split between community groups, including the Surrey Women's Centre. The remainder will go to frontline workers who provide victims safety in high risk domestic violence cases, education and prevention programs. Brewin says the new funding should allow the Surrey Women's Centre to add nighttime counseling services.
