Ontario Increasing Funding to Combat Antisemitism and Islamophobia

The Ontario government is investing an additional $20 million this year to help combat the recent rise in antisemitism and Islamophobia. The new funding, prioritizing Jewish and Muslim communities, will expand the province’s Anti-Hate Security and Prevention Grant, helping faith-based and cultural organizations implement measures to ensure community spaces remain safe and secure.

This new funding will provide community facilities, including synagogues, mosques, community hubs and Jewish and Muslim schools and childcare centres, with up $20,000 per recipient to help better protect their spaces from hate-motivated incidents, graffiti, vandalism or other damage.
