Sarnia's Sexual Assault Survivors Centre has received a federal grant of just over $172,000 for a service accessibility study.

Canada's Minister of Labour and Minister of Status of Women Dr. Kellie Leitch announced the funding this morning at the Women's Interval Home.

Project Manager Caiti Barendregt-Brown says the one time funding will go towards a two year research project focused on improving services locally.
