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.  

To find out more about our participation in this Forum, please visit our media centre to consult the press review about this event.

The ICPC has been mandated by the City of Terrebonne for a local safety audit

In collaboration with the ICPC, the City of Terrebonne, in Canada, has undertaken an initiative to strengthen the perception of safety and the well-being of its citizens. 

This approach is part of a broader effort to develop concrete strategies and actions in favor of the safety of the municipality’s residents. With more than 1.3 million dollars granted by the Quebec government’s Fund to Build Safer Communities, the consultations and discussion groups conducted since January 18 with specific communities, as well as the upcoming consultation with the City’s partners for the development of an action plan scheduled in April 2024, reflect Terrebonne’s commitment to building a safe and inclusive environment for all. An online survey taking place in February and March is also part of the elements that will allow us to properly document the security issues in this city.
