The Canadian government is doubling investments to help communities at risk protect themselves from hate-motivated crimes. The government committed additional funding of CAD$5 million over five years in support of the Communities at Risk: Security Infrastructure Program(SIP), which supports communities to enhance security infrastructure against hate-motivated crimes.
When combined with existing funding, SIP will invest up to CAD$10 million over the next five years. Each year, CAD$2 million will be available to help support not-for-profit organizations make security improvements. This investment builds on recent work to broaden access to the program.
