Tories commit cash to combat hate crimes at Toronto religious centres

A group of religious centres in Toronto will receive government funding to help protect their communities against hate crimes.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews announced almost $90,000 in government funding today for security infrastructure for six religious organizations in the Toronto area.
Toews says he wants to ensure that vulnerable communities are able to protect themselves against hate-crime incidents.
The Security Infrastructure Pilot program was created in 2007 and is a $3-million, three-year program.
The program provides funding for security enhancements for not-for-profit centres, educational institutions and places of worship linked to a community with a history of being victimized by hate motivated-crime.
The eligible costs include such things as security assessments, security equipment and hardware and training costs.
