Thunder Bay’s police chief is disappointed they’ve been turned down for almost $100,000 in provincial funding for guns and gangs.
Sylvie Hauth tells us they were just told they didn’t make the cut from the provincial government’s civil remedies grant.
“It’s a competitive market in the province, everybody is applying for the same funds. Not sure how the government prioritizes, but I would hope that at some point we’ll be at the top of the list given our advocacy and our current reality,” Hauth says.
The police chief is still waiting on word on a grant application of $300,000 funding through the Ontario Solicitor General.
