Crime Stoppers has announced several events in Ottawa across the entire city. With the increase in crime we've seen in the past year, this annual awareness mission serves to be even more useful, arming average citizens with resources they can use to fight back against the armed criminals out to wreak havoc on their lives. The events are intended to educate citizens about the program as well as make coordinators and volunteers available to the general public in order to answer any questions people may have for them.
The schedule and locations are as follows:
- January 10th at Carleton University
- January 12th at Algonquin College
- January 17th at Billings Bridge Plaza
- January 18th at Carlingwood Mall
- January 21st at Walmart 2210 Bank St.
Stay tuned for OCN's visit to one of the venues, as we're hoping to interview or get comments on current events from staff and volunteers.
