Everyone who lives in Canada deserves to feel safe in their communities. While hate incidents have seen a troubling rise in recent years, federal investments such as the Canada Community Security Program (CCSP) have helped communities at risk of hate-motivated crimes to take steps to enhance their safety and security.
Today, the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety, and the Honourable Anthony Housefather, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Emergency Management and Community Resilience and Member of Parliament for Mount Royal, announced an investment totalling $913,111 for 11 organizations in the Mount Royal area through the CCSP, including schools, places of worship, and other gathering spaces.
These Mount Royal organizations are receiving these funds for security equipment and hardware, minor renovations to enhance security, security and emergency assessments and plans, training to respond to hate-motivated events, and time-limited third-party licensed security personnel.
