From October 23 to 25, 2023, we had the honor and pleasure to take part in the annual conference of our partner, the Canadian Municipal Network on Crime Prevention (CMNCP), in Regina, Saskatchewan, which focused on  “Community Safety. Together. Igniting Change”. 

This event, attended by nearly 150 people, was an opportunity for Canadian urban safety stakeholders, university executives, and representatives of Canada’s First Nations, as well as urban and rural municipalities, to discuss new safety practices in terms of governance and prevention locally and internationally.

This event was a great opportunity to meet with key community representatives. Ann Champoux, Director General, met with Irvin Waller, former Director General of the ICPC, retired professor of criminology at the University of Ottawa, and renowned consultant in fighting crime throughout the world. This was also an opportunity to continue our collaboration with some of our partners and collaborators, among them Felix Munger and Audrey Monette, Director General and Director of Projects and Research at CMNCP.
