“It’s a big loss,” Bourassa said. “It will be felt.”
Bourassa said the MJPS will be looking to find both a new Victim Services co-ordinator and, hopefully, a new facility dog.
“Through Donna’s initiative, Kane has had a really, really good impact in terms of opening a lot of doors that might not necessarily be open …,” he said. “And we really want to continue that.”
Blondeau who, earlier this month, announced her upcoming retirement started with the MJPS in May 1994, having previously worked with the province’s Aboriginal Court Worker program. She built MJPS’s Victim Services program from the ground up, seeking advice from existing programs in Regina and Saskatoon while tailoring to fit Moose Jaw’s needs.
