I would say there are women who come from all regions of the country. I come from Manitoba. Because there's a lot of violence in Winnipeg, a lot of women are migrating to Ottawa, because this is a safe place for them to start their healing journeys. We do find a lot of women coming from the reserves. The demographics of Ottawa are going to change: we are going to see a lot aboriginal families migrating to the big cities, and there should be appropriate services for them in place.
