Quinte West is receiving $60,893 in grant money from the Ontario government through the community safety and policing grant.
Bay of Quinte MPP Tyler Allsopp announced the funding during an event at the Quinte West OPP detachment.
The funding will go towards the city’s community safety and well-being plan, to build partnerships between local OPP and local referral agencies with experience in victim assistance, youth programming, and mental health, addictions, and housing supports.
“In Quinte West, we have seen the value of increased collaboration between the OPP and other service providers committed to the safety and well-being of the community,” said MPP Allsopp. “Today’s investment from the Community Safety and Policing Grant ensures the continuation and expansion of those important efforts.”
Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison welcomed the investment.
“The City of Quinte West is grateful to receive $60,893.02 in funding through the Province’s Community Safety and Policing Grant,” said Mayor Harrison. “This funding supports the city’s Community Safety and Well-Being Plan by strengthening localized services that assist police in connecting residents with consistent community resources, including victim support and youth programming.”
The project is one of 127 projects being funded across the province for 2025-26. Of the 127 projects, 88 projects will address local priorities, and 39 projects will address provincial priorities, including gun- and gang-related violence, sexual violence and harassment, human trafficking, mental health and addictions, hate-motivated crime, housing and homelessness, and commercial/retail theft.
