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, Rachel Bendayan, Member of Parliament for Outremont, announced, on behalf of the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs, an investment of $3,855,746 to religious and community organizations in Montreal under the Security Infrastructure Projects Program (SIPP).
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.
“We have experienced three school shootings in my riding of Outremont in recent months. All levels of government must do more to protect our neighbourhoods. War abroad never justifies violence in Canada.
I am proud that our federal government has secured millions of dollars in federal funding to strengthen the security and better protect our local schools, daycares, places of worship and community centres.
We are now taking the next step by launching a new and improved program, the Canada Community Safety Program (CCSP), which will provide increased federal funding and support to more institutions and recipients on an ongoing basis.”
