Canada’s Public Safety Minister announced security funding for a housing project for LGBTQ youth on Friday. Egale Canada, an organization that fights discrimination against the LGBTQ community, will receive $47,000 from the federal government. The money will go toward security installations for the Egale Centre, transitional housing for LGBTQ youth in Toronto due to open in January 2019. The funding falls under the federal government’s Security Infrastructure Program, which is meant to improve security for communities at risk of hate crimes. “People who will be living here and people who will be working here will want to know that they can do so safely and securely,” said Ralph Goodale, the Public Safety Minister.
