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.

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, Anthony Housefather, Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board and Member of Parliament for Mount Royal, on behalf of the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs, announced an investment of $738,992 to strengthen security in schools, places of worship and community centres in the riding of Mount Royal through the Security Infrastructure Program (SIP).
The amount of $738,992 was distributed among numerous organizations in the riding of Mont-Royal, including the Hebrew Association of Young Men and Young Women of Montreal and the Chevra Kadisha B’Nai Jacob – Beit Hazikaron congregation, both of which received funding under the PFPIS.
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.
“Against a backdrop of rising anti-Semitism in Canada and around the world, it was wonderful to see so many Jewish schools, synagogues and community organizations in my riding receive support from the federal government through the Security Infrastructure Program to enhance the security of their buildings. This program is more important than ever, not only for the Jewish community, but for other communities across Canada.”
