Crime Stoppers is a non-profit charitable organization that combines the best efforts of the community, the media and the police in the fight against crime. Each week the media appeals for information about unsolved crimes. A "Crime of the Week" is highlighted in newspaper articles, radio spots and television re-enactments. People are encouraged to call Crime Stoppers anonymously to report any information that may help solve this or any other crime. A group of dedicated, concerned citizens make up the civilian Board of Directors for Crime Stoppers of London-Elgin-Middlesex. Board members raise, control and administer funds, organize reward payments to callers and promote the program. For more information on becoming a board member, or a member of "friends of Crime Stoppers” call our administrative office.
The Fraser Valley Youth Society currently operates the only service for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer, Questioning and Allied youth in Abbotsford. Our drop-in hosts 30 youth per week. Our goal is to facilitate a safe, open and non-judgmental space for youth to express themselves. This is achieved through our weekly drop in where youth can come and share experiences, learn life skills, build resiliency skills and gain social supports. The society liaises with local services and those in surrounding communities in order to link our youth with support that goes beyond what we can provide. We participate in the Vancouver Pride Parade every year as well as other events hosted by GLBTQ service providers in Metro Vancouver. We recently celebrated our fourth annual ‘Walk Away from Homophobia’ in Abbotsford. This event was attended by our youth and 160 other community members who take a vested interest in the issues faced by GLBTQ youth. We welcome your support!
