The Manitoba government is launching a $1-million Security Enhancement Fund to support Manitoba communities facing acts of hate, targeted intimidation and vandalism by helping community organizations strengthen safety measures, improve preparedness and install security infrastructure to meets specific needs, according to a provincial media release.

Eligible organizations, including cultural groups and places of worship, will be able to apply for support for projects such as enhanced lighting, alarm systems, security cameras, controlled access systems, safety training and restoring property damaged in hate-motivated incidents. The fund will also support organizations in developing community-driven security plans. 

ClearSecure Manufacturing & Distribution has a proven track record of protecting vulnerable buildings across western Canada,” says Vince Croker, ClearSecure Vice-President. “Both our ROCKGLASS and ROCKSCREEN products have significantly reduced or eliminated damage from vandalism and prevented break-ins. Working closely with houses of worship, local agencies, schools and our dealers, we can customize our products to just about any size or configuration.”
