The federal government is giving over $3 million to the city of London, Ont., for an initiative aimed at curbing rising gun crime in the area, says the Department of Public Safety.
“Investments in grassroots efforts in London are essential to addressing the social conditions that lead youth and young adults to get involved in a life of crime. Put simply, we must stop gun and gang violence before it starts,” Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said in a news release on Jan. 16.
