On January 27, 2025, members of the Hindu Canadian community participated in an enlightening educational session organized by the Countering Hate Committee (CHC) of Peel Regional Police. This initiative, in collaboration with Safe City Mississauga, aims to address and mitigate hate within our communities.
The session underscored the critical importance of reporting hate incidents, emphasizing that timely reporting not only aids in immediate response but also contributes to broader efforts in tracking and preventing hate-motivated crimes. Participants were educated on recognizing various forms of hate, understanding the impact of hate crimes, and the procedures for reporting such incidents to law enforcement.
This event marks a significant step towards rebuilding trust and confidence between the Hindu community and the police department. By fostering open dialogue and providing essential education, the initiative aims to empower community members to stand against hate and discrimination.
The Hindu Canadian Foundation (HCF) is pleased to join this journey alongside other community partners under the guidance of Vishwa Jain Sangthan Canada. Vishwa Jain Sangthan Canada is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Jain heritage and promoting values such as non-violence (ahimsa) and truth (satya).
The collaborative efforts of these organizations, along with the support of Peel Regional Police, signify a united front against hate, aiming to create a safer and more inclusive environment for all.
