The Victim Services Society of Stony Plain, Spruce Grove and District was registered on November 28, 1986 as a non-profit Society. Mainly through the efforts of May Richards our organization enjoys the distinction of being the first Victim Services Society in Alberta,  to begin working with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The Society is funded through Provincial grants, Municipal Contributions, fundraising efforts by the volunteers themselves and donations from private citizens and Corporations.

Our Society works in partnership with the RCMP and is based at Stony Plain and Spruce Grove Detachments to voluntarily provide  supportive assistance and crisis intervention to victims of crime, accidents and natural disasters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our Victim Services Society, or as it is commonly referred, VSU (Victim Services Unit) is comprised of a Board of Directors, a Coordinator and assistant Coordinator and Associate and Advocate Volunteers.

We serve the City of Spruce Grove, the Town of Stony Plain, the County of Parkland, portions of the County of Lac Ste. Anne and Sturgeon County, the Village of Onoway, the Village of Alberta Beach, the Village of Wabamun, the Hamlet of Duffield, the Village of Spring Lakes, the Paul First Nation and the Enoch Cree Nations.
