Across Canada, communities and businesses are feeling the strain of rising crime, increased insecurity, and growing pressure on local economies.
The Canadian Coalition to Combat Crime brings together businesses, associations, NGOs, community leaders, and advocates who share one conviction: Canada can do better on crime, and progress happens when we work together.
We represent the storefronts, workplaces, and neighbourhoods feeling the strain of rising crime and we speak with one voice so that strain is impossible for decision-makers to ignore.
Across Canada, communities and businesses are feeling the pressure of rising crime, growing insecurity, and mounting costs. Businesses, so often the heart of a neighbourhood, are spending more time and money just to stay safe, while families and workers worry about their security in places that once felt dependable. These challenges don't just affect balance sheets; they affect quality of life, opportunity, and confidence in our communities.
Practical over political. We back evidence-based solutions that work, not talking points. A hand up, not a handout. We support prevention, opportunity, and accountability together. Collaboration, not blame. Our goal isn't division. It's making sure decision-makers hear clearly from the people on the front lines. Stronger together. One organization is a voice; a coalition is a force.
We're urging all levels of government to advance practical, evidence-based policies that restore accountability and reduce repeat offending, invest in prevention and community well-being, and ease the growing burden crime places on local businesses and the people they employ.
Our current focus areas are retail crime, auto theft, and safe streets. Three fronts where the data is clear and the cost to Canadians is rising.
