Safer Communities Working Group
November, 2007
A provincial level committee coordinated by the Community Justice
branch of the Ministry of Attorney General. This committee has been in
place for some time but with no representation from the anti-violence
movement. Members of this committee have been more mainstream
provincial safe communities organizations such as Crime Stoppers, Block
Watch, Neighborhood Watch, Criminal Justice Society of BC, BC Coalition
for Safe Communities. The Association requested to be a part of this
committee as we saw it imperative that these mainstream organizations
work with the anti-violence sector.
