Three Nova Scotia communities to launch crime prevention projects
The Nova Scotia government has announced it will use federal money to establish public safety projects aimed at preventing crime in three municipalities.
The Nova Scotia government has allocated federal funds to launch crime prevention initiatives in three municipalities. Provincial Justice Minister Scott Armstrong revealed that New Glasgow, a town grappling with escalating safety issues, will receive a portion of the $550,000 allocated from Public Safety Canada. Mayor Nancy Dicks expressed optimism that the program will address critical concerns such as mental health, addiction, housing instability, and poverty.
Last month, the Town of New Glasgow voted unanimously to request the province's intervention in shutting down a 20-bed emergency homeless shelter, citing concerns about its inability to effectively cater to the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction. Discussions about the shelter's closure are only in their infancy. Subscribe to Global News on Google to stay informed about these developments.
