Grants and Contributions

Public Safety Canada, upon confirmation with the Ministère de la Sécurité publique du Québec, is making an investment to strengthen the physical capabilities of First Nations and Inuit police forces in the Quebec region that aligns with provincial policing priorities. This investment is part of the strategy to stabilize police forces under the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program (FNIPP), which began in 2022-23. This strategy was initially designed to address existing challenges of the FNIPP in the region, and its second phase will support the growth of First Nations and Inuit police forces from 2024-25 onwards. The current investment bridges the gap between the two phases by enabling First Nations and Inuit police forces to increase their non-recurring physical capabilities.

The objective of this Project is to allow Yukon to provide funding to Selkirk First Nation (SFN) for the purposes of the SFN Community Safety Officer (CSO) Program. The SFN CSO Program offers an alternative and proactive approach to enhancing community safety, drawing on relationships within the community, knowledge of SFN traditions and value, and working collaboratively with the RCMP while offering flexibility to community members to access alternative safety supports.

The project will support the delivery of services to approximately 900 Citizens living in CTFN traditional territory and elsewhere. CTFN territory covers a large geographical area within the Yukon Territory and is comprised of both rural and remote communities.

This project is a modification of a previous Community Safety Officer (CSO) program that did not meet the needs of the Citizens, nor did it consider the complicated historical relationships and experiences with enforcement agencies. With these considerations in mind, CTFN modified the program, shifting away from an institutional/agency program with uniformed “officers”, to a holistic safety and wellness program based on social determination of health.

This CSW project aims to provide CTFN with an additional mechanism to enhance community safety for citizens through proactive activities, responsive wellness support based on community needs, and fostering community connections. The CSW team (liaisons) will deliver activities that reflect the wellness aspect of community needs, focusing on building community connections, building trust, meeting people where they are at, and providing unique-personalized support through mental wellness, substance use, trauma and crisis interventions.

Funding provided for this project will support community safety by allowing the current program to expand, both in terms of geographic locations and number of CTFN Citizens being supported.
