Highway of Tears Community Safety Toolkit

Abuse / Neglect, Addictions / Substance Use, Indigenous Services, and Victim Services

Provided by Carrier Sekani Family Services

Community Safety Toolkit which builds on strengths and skills within Indigenous communities along the Highway of Tears and supports solutions for identifying risks and creating safety.
The original Highway of Tears Community Safety Toolkit included fourteen resources to promote community safety and increase education and awareness in many areas, including: violence against women, personal safety, addiction, community violence as well as specific resources targeted at empowering men to stand up against violence.

Community Safety Training has taken place in several communities along the Highway of Tears. Based on feedback gathered from evaluations of Indigenous attendees and trainers at community safety planning sessions, the Community Safety Toolkit is being revised into a national resource.

The revised National Community Safety Toolkit will be shared in Indigenous communities across Canada in person and on their website called Our Spirit, to be launched soon.

The purpose of this website is to educate the public about the ongoing work related to the Highway of Tears. It highlights efforts to connect with families of murdered and missing individuals, participation in media events, and continued involvement in awareness and memorial vigils, walks, ceremonies, and other initiatives aimed at ending violence against Indigenous women along the Highway of Tears and across Canada.
