Ontario is getting $121 million to fight gun crimes and gang violence as part of a $390 million investment from the federal government.

Minister of Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino will make the announcement at Peel Regional Police headquarters in Mississauga on Monday along with Ontario Solicitor General Michael Kerzner.

“Strong prevention strategies like these are central pillar in our plan to ensure Canadians are safe in their communities,” Mendicino said in a press release prior to the announcement. The government said previous funds went to programs like Quebec’s Operation Centaur, which fights firearms trafficking, and the Organized Crime Agency of British Columbia, an independent police force tasked with fighting organized crime.
