Government of Canada Funds Religious Organizations for Protection Against Hate Crimes
The Canadian government is investing $96,443 in religious organizations in Windsor to bolster security against hate-motivated crimes. This funding, distributed among three religious institutions, is part of the Security Infrastructure Program (SIP), which will soon be replaced by the Canada Community Security Program (CCSP). The CCSP aims to expand on SIP's measures, including security enhancements and training for hate-motivated incidents, impacting religious and community groups by offering improved protective infrastructure.
