"The Harper Government is committed to keeping our streets and communities safe," said Minister Toews. "Youth crime and violence are serious concerns for many Canadian families and communities, which is why I am happy to announce today that we are once again investing in community-based projects that help those who are most at risk of offending. Projects that receive funding will provide at-risk youth with life skills that will empower them to make smart choices and to stay away from crime."
The priorities of this funding intake are:
The government is providing up to $10 million toward new crime prevention projects in this call for applications. The deadline for applications is October 25, 2012.

In 2011 alone, the government funded 138 community-based crime prevention programs through the National Crime Prevention Strategy, in which nearly 16,000 at-risk youth participated.
