ENDNOTES
[1] Formerly known as the Grants and Contributions Fund.
[2] Note: PCS has since been replaced with the Grants and Contributions Information Management System (GCIMS).
[3] See Appendix A: File Review of the Department of Justice Canada Family Violence Initiative Project Funding, 1997/98-2002/03.
[4] The topics are coded according to category descriptions in the Department of Justice Canada's PCS.
[5] This included project proposals, PCS reports, final reports, products and evaluations where available.
[6] In some cases, the information had been archived, or was not readily accessible during the interview.
[7] Note that some Project Sponsors have applied for, and in some cases received funding in subsequent years for next steps.
[8] The National Crime Prevention Centre was within the Department of Justice Canada until March 31, 2004, when it was relocated to Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada.
[9] Quantifiable information on Project-level knowledge transfer/dissemination was not available in most cases, PLEI information products excepted (see Appendix A for further detail on dissemination figures).

[12] Note: this information is obtained from project files and it was not possible to confirm the figures with Yukon Justice.
[13] Judith Wallerstein Centre for the Family in Transition in Corte Madera, California. The adult treatment manual was adapted from, "For the Kids' Sake: A Treatment Program for High Conflict Separated Families" (Family Court Clinic, Clark Institute of Psychiatry), and the children's treatment manual was adapted from "High-Conflict, Violent and Separating Families: A Group Treatment Manual for School Age Children" (Vivenne Roseby and Janet Johnston).
[14] It included five to six group sessions that parents attended separately, and five sessions involving both parents.
[15] The children's component was designed as a 10-week group program.
[16] For example, it has received funding from the Province of Manitoba, the Clarica Fund and the Winnipeg Foundation.
[17] In 1999, the charitable organization Anglican Houses voted to change its name to LOFT Community Services. "LOFT" stands for Leap of Faith Together. Street Outreach Services is a program operated under the organization.
[18] RespectEd: Violence and Abuse Prevention is a national program of the Canadian Red Cross (originally called Abuse Prevention Services), which has educated over 720,000 youth and adults.
[19] This program (under a different name) was operated by the Junior League program from 1978-1984. When the Junior League lost its funding, the Red Cross in British Columbia agreed to adopt the program. It became a national Red Cross program in 1998.
[20] Note: Both publications are available in both official languages. Translation and printing in both English and French was undertaken with other funding.
[21] The majority of the resources (20,854) were distributed in 2002.
[22] Since the 1980s, the Grey Bruce community has been addressing family violence. This Committee was founded in 1997 (a previous committee, the Grey Bruce Family Violence Coalition, lost its funding in 1996 due to changes in government funding priorities).
[23] The Men's Track Program included five elements: Police intervention (charges laid); Men Mentoring Men (interview); Education for Change (meetings); Group Counselling (Men's Program); and Alumni support (Men's Program). Program developed included the creation of a governance model and structure, selection and referral process, case management, links to other services, accountability measures, cultural considerations, a staffing plan and budget.
[24] The first national conference was held in 1991. Since that time, elder abuse has been addressed by many national, provincial and local conferences involving professionals, the public and seniors.
