Community input needed in the development of a community-based hate reporting program
Whitby, Ontario – In response to rising hate activity across Durham Region, the Region of Durham and Victim Services of Durham Region have partnered to launch a community-based hate reporting program.
Developed in consultation with human rights and religious organizations, as well as community service providers, this initiative is designed to empower residents, support impacted individuals, and strengthen community safety and inclusion.
Community input needed
To help shape the program, the Region and Victim Services have created an anonymous online survey to better understand perceptions of and experiences with hate activity and how community-based hate reporting can be improved in Durham Region.
Residents can complete the survey at durham.ca/HateReportingSurvey until October 17.
This initiative is a call to action for all residents to stand together against hate. By participating in the survey and spreading awareness, we can build a community where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected.
