Our Beginning

In April of 2014, following a news report on the lack of a support group in Calgary for families who have lost loved ones to homicide, Debbie Hogarth and Karen Venables met for the first time.

Support Group

The Calgary Homicide Support Society offers a safe place for families and those close to victims of homicide to come together to find support from others who "just know.”
