Victims of crime are being invited to share how they coped, as part of a White Rock RCMP Victim Services project to mark Victims of Crime Week.
Through April 18, individuals are encouraged to pick up postcards at the city's library (15342 Buena Vista Ave.), community centre (15154 Russell Ave.) or police detachment (15299 Pacific Ave.), and write anonymously about one thing that was significant in helping them cope with and/or recover from a significant life event.(Participants are asked to avoid describing the actual incident.)
This year's Victims of Crime Week theme is Shaping the Future Together.
The postcards – also available at Sources (882 Maple St.), Sources' Women's Place (15318 20 Ave.), Seniors Come Share Society (15008 26 Ave.), Avalon Women's Recovery Centre (101-1548 Johnston Rd.) and the Vine Youth & Family Centre (15455 Vine Ave.) – are to be on display from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday (April 19) beside White Rock Museum & Archives. Victims of Crime Week is April 19-25.
The Anonymous Postcard Project is supported by the City of White Rock and the Semiahmoo Volunteer Community Policing Society.
