Building Safer Communities Grant Program Impact Event

Niagara Region is pleased to invite you to the Building Safer Communities Grant Program Impact Event to celebrate and share the successes of programs funded through the Building Safer Communities Grant Program. The Grant Program supported community-based initiatives for children, youth, and young adults who are at risk of gun and gang involvement.

This event is an opportunity to learn how funded services work together across the community to support young people and families, with a focus on priority populations, including Black youth, girls and young women, Indigenous youth, and newcomer youth.
