The Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Centre Society will implement a five-year direct intervention project called the Community Shield Initiative. This project aims to reduce the involvement of at-risk youth in the criminal justice system, particularly newcomers, immigrants, refugees, Indigenous youth, LGBTQ2+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, two-spirited, inclusive of all other sexual orientations, romantic orientations, and gender expressions) individuals, and other marginalized groups in the communities of Victoria, Langford, and Saanich (British Columbia).
