The provincial government is giving the Canadian Centre for Child Protection (C3P) $20,000 to expand its training and resources in school divisions to help children from being sexually victimized.

C3P works with school divisions to support educators and parents by providing public awareness and training and in-class safety and crime prevention activities.

The funding, provided through the Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund will help expand the organization’s library of downloadable literature, videos and webinars, as well as in-person workshops available for teachers, parents, front-line responders.

“This funding will help this organization continue its free public education efforts in the Lord Selkirk and Frontier school divisions through its programming that has had been previously well-received in several school divisions in Winnipeg,” said Justice Minister Kelvin Goertzen.
