To participate in the development and implementation of crime prevention programs. To encourage the development of strategies that promote safer communities. The major focus for Crime Prevention Yukon is sponsoring the Youth Leadership project. The program, modeled after a successful program in Manitoba, has been delivered to Watson Lake, Ross River, Kwanlin Dun, Haines Junction, Teslin, Carcross and Old Crow. The recreation and leadership program provides structured activities for children and youth who have minimal recreational opportunities during the summer months.
Emphasis is placed on cross-cultural programs and enviromental awareness.
This was borne out by the RCMP statistics for the period.
