安省省府拨款打击社区中的仇恨主义

省府投资2500万元打击种族仇恨主义

 

安省政府正在投资2500万加元用于一项新的赠款计划,以帮助信仰和文化组织保护其社区免受仇恨犯罪的侵害。该项目将帮助符合条件的组织支付与安保和安全措施相关的费用,包括加强其建筑物的安全,并培训工作人员如何应对出于仇恨动机的暴力。

安省各地的社区组织努力将社区聚集在一起,并提供一个安全和包容的聚会空间来崇拜,实践他们的宗教和庆祝他们的文化。我们希望这笔赠款将有助于支持这些团体正在做的重要工作,并使最有可能成为仇恨犯罪目标的社区感到更安全,更有保障。

符合条件的组织包括慈善机构和非营利性公司,作为主要活动,每月至少举办一次具有宗教、精神或文化意义的定期聚会,并租用或拥有用于这些聚会的室内设施。政府将根据该组织的收入,一次性提供高达10,000加元的赠款。

 

Government of Ontario Investing $25 Million to Combat Hate in Communities 

The Ontario government is investing $25 million in a new grant program to help faith-based and cultural organizations protect their communities against hate-motivated crime. The new Ontario Grant to Support Anti-Hate Security Measures for Faith-Based and Cultural Organizations will help eligible organizations cover expenses related to security and safety measures including enhancing security of their buildings and training staff on how to respond to hate-motivated violence.

Community organizations across Ontario work hard to bring communities together and provide a safe and inclusive gathering space to worship, practice their religion and celebrate their culture. We hope this grant will help to support the important work these groups are doing and empower communities most at risk of being targeted with hate-motivated crime feel safer and more secure.

Eligible organizations include charities and not-for-profit corporations that host, as a primary activity, regular gatherings of religious, spiritual or cultural significance at least once a month, and that rent or own indoor facilities used for these gatherings. The government will provide up to $10,000 in one time grants, based on the organization’s revenue.
