Everyone living in Canada deserves to be and feel safe in their community. In recent years, we have seen an increase in hate incidents in many communities. This is unacceptable, and the federal government is taking action to combat hate and protect communities.
Today, the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister responsible for Prairie Economic Development Canada, Minister responsible for the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency and Minister of Northern Affairs, on behalf of the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs, announced an investment of $111,904 to religious and community organizations in Regina through the Security Infrastructure Program (SIP).
On September 24, Minister LeBlanc announced the launch of the new Canada Community Safety Program (CCSP) which aims to replace and improve the work undertaken under the PFPIS based on feedback from communities. The first call for applications will be launched on 1 October 2024.
Eligible measures include security equipment and materials, minor renovations to enhance security, security and emergency plans and assessments, hate-motivated incident response training, and third-party certified security personnel for a limited period of time.
Public Safety will contact organizations that have submitted an application under the PFPIS to discuss the status of their application and their participation under the PSCC.
Organizations wishing to be kept informed of the launch of the next PSCC call for applications are invited to register at distribution list of the National Crime Prevention Strategy.
“Everyone in Canada deserves to feel safe in their community. That’s why, since 2015, we’ve invested in hundreds of local projects that protect communities threatened by hate-motivated crimes. We’re working with community partners to ensure everyone in Canada can continue to live without fear.”
