Crime Prevention Week - November 1 to 7

The Ottawa Police Service is recognizing Crime Prevention Week from November 1 to 7 under this year's theme, Protecting Ontario Together. Residents and businesses are encouraged to take simple steps to improve safety, including securing homes and vehicles, keeping valuables out of sight, staying aware of their surroundings and protecting personal and financial information from fraud. Crime prevention is a shared responsibility, and everyone has a role to play in building safer communities. Throughout the week, Ottawa Police officers have been visiting local post-secondary campuses to share safety information and resources. For crime prevention tips, programs and toolkits, visit ottawapolice.ca/crimeprevention.

The Ottawa Police Service, in partnership with the Community Equity Council and the Canadian Institute for Conflict Resolution, invites residents to the 11th Annual Human Rights Learning Forum on Thursday, December 3, from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, at the St. Elias Banquet Centre, 750 Ridgewood Avenue. This year's theme, From Knowing to Doing: Accountability, Equity and Transformation, will explore ways to strengthen trust, promote inclusion and turn human rights principles into meaningful action. Registration is free. Learn more and register at ottawapolice.ca.
