Title:

Nunavut Victim Services 2026-2031

Agreement Number:

13750578

Agreement Value:

$3,375,000.00

Agreement Date:

Apr 1, 2026 - Mar 31, 2031

Description:

Nunavut will undertake several activities over five fiscal years to advance victim services and access to justice for victims and their families. Activities will include providing supports and services for victims of crime and Canadian Victims Bill of Rights components of the victims’ rights to information, participation, protection and right to seek restitution are implemented with culturally appropriate measures. In addition, Nunavut will also provide financial assistance programs for victims and their families to attend court proceedings, especially when hearings are held in Iqaluit or other regional hubs. This directly supports the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights principle of participation, ensuring victims can be present and heard during proceedings such as preliminary hearings, trials and sentencing. By grounding the program in these Inuit values, we ensure that services are culturally safe, trauma-informed, and responsive to the diverse needs of victims in Nunavut, while reflecting the federal principles for victims of crime.
