We are volunteers and that is our job that is what we are trained to do. By simply offering a

VOLUNTEER TESTIMONIALS

I have watched the CDVS volunteers support victims by helping them read through their statements, remaining clam and confident in the court house, ensuring the victims were fed when hungry and by standing by their side in times of extreme stress and emotion

Caledon OPP officer

We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Iroquois, Ojibway/Chippewa, Anishinabek, the Metis, and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit River. This Territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and the Haldimand Treaty. We are grateful to live and work on this land. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
