Building Safer Communities Grants
The Building Safer Communities Grant Program provided funding to community-based service providers to develop or strengthen crime and violence prevention and intervention initiatives or programs for children, youth, young adults, and their families in the City of St. John’s. This grant program was made possible thanks to a three-year funding commitment from Public Safety Canada, announced in February 2023, to enhance community safety and collaboration.
This grant program has now closed.
