Durham Region is receiving up to $4.3-million to support local initiatives that prevent gun and gang violence and help young people make good choices.
The money is coming from the federal government’s Building Safer Communities Fund which was first introduced in March of last year.This funding aims to help address the underlying conditions that give rise to crime. The region will distribute it to community-led projects for young people involved in gangs or at risk of joining them – helping them set themselves up for success in life.
“Everyone deserves to feel safe where they live. Supporting our communities and providing more resources for local initiatives is essential to reducing gun crime and violence,” said Mark Holland. “This investment in Durham will help do just that.” “The safety and well-being of our residents is our top priority and we remain committed to doing all that we can to make our region a safe place for everyone,” shared John Henry, Durham Regional Chair. “Through the Building Safer Communities Fund, we are able to maximize the impact of the community safety and well-being efforts in Durham Region and work closely with community partners and residents to ensure Durham remains a place where everyone feels safe and has a sense of belonging.
