Envisioning a Victimless Society You can help make your community safer with just a few hours a week of volunteering. When people who have committed a sexual offence serve their full sentence, they are released from prison into the community with no supervision and no support.  However, if those same high risk offenders are surrounded by a circle of volunteers who will hold them accountable and support them in their efforts to live in pro-social ways, the sexual reoffending rate is reduced by 83%. This is what the Circles of Support and Accountablility Program does and you can be part of it. Volunteers receive formal & ongoing training and guidance in order to work towards our motto: “No More Victims!”  For more information call The Salvation Army Freedom Ministries at 613-549-2676.
