Honouring frontline service providers dealing with domestic violence
Frontline service providers who deal with domestic violence in central Alberta were recognized for their efforts during a special ceremony held in Red Deer on Wednesday.
Central Alberta’s Domestic and Relationship Violence Initiative Committee (DRVIC) hosted their 14th Annual Frontline Service Providers Awards Luncheon at the Radisson Hotel, with nearly 100 people in attendance.
It was a chance for the organization to honour individuals who have made a significant contribution by working directly with people and families impacted by domestic violence and bullying.
Held each year since 2005 during Family Violence Prevention Month, 10 nominations were submitted this year, with two winners given a Frontline Service Providers Award and a third acknowledged with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
