Youth Friendly North Shore

Youth-Friendly North Shore (YFNS) is a three-year initiative that is funded by Public Safety Canada through the Building Safer Communities Fund (BSCF), led by the District of North Vancouver and supported by the North Vancouver RCMP. səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) is a government partner working alongside other North Shore government entities on developing a plan for this important initiative.

Public Safety Canada’s Building Safer Communities Fund (BSCF) offers four years of funding to support municipalities and Indigenous communities to develop and deliver community-based prevention and intervention initiatives that address risk and increase protective factors associated with youth gun and gang violence. 

The BSCF aims to increase the recipient’s knowledge of the nature, scope and challenges associated with gun and gang activities, as well as support recipients to develop a plan to sustain successful prevention and intervention activities upon completion of the four-year program.
