Seven Williams Lake groups receive grants to curb gang violence
SHARE ON:
Seven groups in Williams Lake will be receiving funding to support community-based crime prevention and remediation initiatives.
221 projects across the province will receive their share of $8.6 million through the Civil Forfeiture Crime Prevention and Remediation grant program.

In turn, it’s appropriate that once again, some of the proceeds are going into gang prevention,” says Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. “These annual grants support life-changing and even life-saving work through supporting the prevention of gang involvement and of gender-based violence and violence against women.”
