The ICPC participated in the 2024 Conference of the Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence

The ICPC was pleased to take part in the 2024 Conference on Countering Radicalization to Violence, the theme of which was ‘Local Responses to Global Pressures’. This event, organized from Monday, May 27, to Friday, May 31, 2024, in Montreal, was an exceptional opportunity for us to reinforce our network and collaborate with international experts in the field.  

Speech by the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Safety Canada

Organized by the Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence, the author of Canada’s National Strategy to Counter Radicalization Leading to Violence, the event brought together nearly 400 participants from 15 countries working in the fields of health and the prevention of radicalization and extremism at both national and international level, for a series of conferences and networking sessions.   

This week of enriching exchanges marked an important opportunity to improve our initiatives to prevent radicalization and violence. We look forward to engaging in further work with new collaborators to strengthen our capabilities and continue to develop effective strategies and solutions to counter these phenomena, inspired by the good practices that have been shared.

It was also an opportunity to discuss the ICPC’s participation in a session on urban safety during the 8th edition of the RC3D’s Forum for Decentralised Cooperation and Development (FOCODDEV), which will take place in Montreal from 27 November to 1 December 2023.
