Safe City Mississauga

The Rotary Club of Mississauga Meadowvale welcomed Teresa Burgess-Ogilivie, Executive Director of Safe City Mississauga.  

Teresa updated the club on the White Ribbon campaign which raises awareness of violence against woman. Safe City Mississauga noted that domestic violence dominates the number of calls to the police. Teresa encouraged men in particular to wear the ribbon to show their support for women and a show of no tolerance for violence against women

Safe City works on programs and initiatives to reduce high school drop outs. They provide tutoring for children at risk at the elementary levels through the Aspire program    This program won international awards for crime prevention.  

There are so many great programs that Safe City Mississauga offers that I cannot capture everything here  i would strongly encourage a visit to Safe City Mississauga's website at www.safecityMississauga.on.ca

They are also responsible for managing Neighborhood Crime Watch.
