Community Safety Update: Strengthening Our Bonds Against Crime 

Mark your calendars for a follow-up session on loss prevention strategies with the RCMP, scheduled for January 15th (details below).

 

To enhance communication channels, an exclusive WhatsApp group has been established for participating businesses. This platform will facilitate the sharing of security-related intelligence, including snapshots of suspicious activities and updates on offenses.

 

Businesses interested in joining are encouraged to confirm their participation by reaching out to Dianna de Sousa via email or saving the provided number 250-893-1699. It's essential to emphasize that this chat is a supplementary measure and not a substitute for reporting incidents directly to the RCMP.

 

For further inquiries or support, business community members are invited to reach out via email, mobile, or through our advocacy page form.

 

The proactive engagement of all participants is sincerely appreciated, and together, we can make a meaningful impact on crime reduction within our community.
