Mattamy Homes
Invests $20,000 in Brampton’s Community Safety Campaign
Brampton, Ontario – Peel Regional Police
Chief Noel Catney joined Brampton Safe City Association President Gael Miles,
and Vice President of the Mattamy Development Corporation Frank Doracin to
unveil a dynamic community safety promotion and public education campaign for
the City of Brampton. The campaign
will encourage Brampton residents and businesses to get involved with local
crime prevention and safety programs such as Neighbourhood Watch, the Business
Crime Prevention Program, the Youth Education and Safety Program and the Crime
Prevention Academy. Mattamy Homes has
donated $20,000 to develop marketing, educational materials and community
safety workshops as part of the initiative.
Appropriately, the campaign is entitled, “Building a Safe City”, in
recognition of Mattamy’s involvement.
Mattamy Homes is Canada’s largest new
homebuilder with developments in 51 neighbourhoods throughout the GTA. Mattamy prides itself in being involved with
every facet of the communities they’re involved in. Their partnership in this campaign is a perfect example of the company’s
commitment to “not just build homes, but communities”.
“Peel Police is very pleased to support this
initiative, which will encourage Brampton residents and businesses to get
involved with crime prevention programs that make Brampton a safer and more
vibrant community to live, work and play.” Chief Noel Catney
The Brampton Safe City Association will coordinate the “Building a Safe City Campaign” drawing on community partners and local businesses to assist with publicizing the campaign. Brampton Safe City is a not-for-profit, volunteer led, community safety organization and one of only a handful of municipally based community safety organizations in Canada. The organization coordinates crime prevention and safety programs that motivate residents to get involved with keeping Brampton a safe city. Brampton Safe City is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2002.
