BRIDGELAND-RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY SAFETY Tip of the Month: Victim Assistance Team The Victim Assistance Team is composed of trained and committed staff and volunteers who provide information, support and referrals to victims of crime and tragedy through three programs: Call Centre: Victim Support Advocates (volunteers) initiate phone contact with victims of personal crime or tragedy providing case and court updates and information; emotional support and referrals to community agencies for counseling, bereavement and other appropriate support agencies. Contact the Call Centre at 403-428-8398 or toll-free 1-888- 327-7828. Victim Support Advocates can provide information on the following Alberta Government Programs: Victim Impact Statement A victim impact statement allows you to express in writing to a judge how being a victim of crime has affected you, and those close to you. Upon conviction, this information is taken into consideration by the judge before handing down a sentence. Restitution When charges have been laid in a criminal offence you can apply for restitution. Restitution is a way for the offender to repay material, property or financial loss that you have suffered. Financial Benefits If you have suffered a physical or emotional injury as a direct result of being the victim of a violent crime that occurred in Alberta, you are entitled to apply for Financial Benefits. The incident must be reported to police, but does not require charges to have been laid. This financial award is intended to assist you through a difficult time and is not compensation.

Why not look at biking to work as an easy and enjoyable way to handle both. Bike in the winter? Are you nuts? Biking can be quite comfortable in any season as long as you are prepared. There are a few questions you need to ask yourself before getting started. 1. Do you have a bike in ride-ready condition? This means the bike has good working brakes and tires, shifts properly, has a chain without rust, and can be winterized with lights and fenders. 2. What is your commute route? Are you aware of existing pathways or marked bike routes to get to where you work? Do coworkers or people in your building ride and how do they get there?A fellow commuter can be your best source for advice. 3. Do you need special winter gear? Specialized bike gear is not required. Dress in layers, keeping in mind that hands and feet are usually the hardest to keep warm. Keep a journal of what you wore and what the weather conditions were and within 2 weeks you should be able to get up, see the forecast and know how to dress for the day 4. Are there facilities at your work? Are you able to shower/change easily? If not, keeping some moist towelettes/body cloths at your desk/locker will make a quick clean up in the bathroom easy. Biking to work is an easy way to keep fit without having to schedule extra time at a gym that you pay for, and will help you keep some money in your wallet as you save on gas, parking or transit costs.
