The ICPC participated in a City of Terrebonne’s Forum on safety and violence prevention for youth

On May 2, 2024, we had the pleasure of participating in the Forum on safety and violence prevention among young people aged 10 to 25 organized by the City of Terrebonne. Mandated by the City of Terrebonne to conduct a Local Safety Audit, this event was an opportunity to present the highlights of the consultative activities we carried out with Terrebonne residents and community stakeholders.  

This detailed approach was completed by extensive quantitative data on crime provided by the Quebec Ministry of Public Safety, focus groups targeting specific communities, and a wide-ranging survey of the population at large. This survey collected responses from over 840 participants, providing a rich database to inform our analysis and recommendations.

Our consultative activities have helped us to gain a better understanding of local concerns about safety and violence, and to develop appropriate strategies to address them.

The ICPC attended the 2nd Montreal Forum on Combating Armed Violence

We were pleased to be invited, on October 25 and 26, to the second edition of the Montreal Forum on Combating Armed Violence, organized by the City of Montreal and the Montreal Police Service (SPVM).

This Forum was an opportunity for nearly 150 participants, including many representatives from institutions and community organizations working in the field of health, safety and school sectors, to assess the state of armed violence in Montreal, with a focus on joint commitments and concrete prevention initiatives in the public environment, as well as in city neighbourhoods and schools.     

The event addressed a range of issues, including the public health approach aimed at protecting the health of individuals who are victims of violence, the fight against all forms of online violence, the dangers of cyberspace and more.    

Also, in order to promote the Montreal model for a safe city implemented in February 2022 by the city and the SPVM, which includes the active participation of youth, the Forum provided a platform for the dissemination of projects “By and for young people” from a number of Montreal associations and organizations, which provided insights into solutions to combat armed violence.   

Thank you to the City of Montreal for the invitation!
