The Government of Canada's National Crime Prevention Strategy continues to be a partner and supporter of LOVE initiatives in Ontario, Nova Scotia and Quebec. The support of the NCPS has enabled LOVE to build on its grass-roots experience and unite with Canadian communities to help youth and adults gain a better understanding of the causes, consequences and prevention of youth violence. NCPS has also facilitated LOVE in fostering strong community links to build a more integrated approach to reducing crime and violence.
