Criminal Injuries Compensation Board

Since 1971, the government of Ontario has provided financial compensation for those who qualify under the Compensation for Victims of Crime Act, that is, victims and family members of deceased victims of violent crimes committed in the Province of Ontario. All victims of crime are entitled to compensation for the harm suffered. We will represent you before a government tribunal to ensure that appropriate compensation is awarded. Our goal is to ease the financial burden experienced by victims of violent crime in a sensitive and respectful way.
