Earlier last week, Lake 88 reported Lanark County was set to declare Intimate Partner Violence, or IPV, an epidemic and it was made official this week.
Following the official unanimous passing, Lanark County Interval House issued a statement on social media.
Executive Director Erin Lee says they can’t understate the fact that the county is the first to make a move on IPV in Ontario.
The declaration was the first of 86 stemming from the Renfrew Inquest following the 2015 triple homicide of Ottawa valley women caught in a domestic violence situation.
