Violence is a reality in our world
But it doesn’t have to be
Our focus is on stopping violence before it begins
Strong Orange is a Canada-wide charity created to provide quality violence prevention and personal safety training to everyone at risk from the youngest child to the oldest senior
From school to home – from work to the street
we want everyone to feel safe — that starts with Strong Orange
Building SAFER Communities
A large and diverse group of community members have come together to support the Heron Gate neighborhood in their drive to become a healthier and safer part of the City of Ottawa. The partnership between people of all political stripes, cultural backgrounds and career paths, has formed an Advisory Board for the project known as Building STRONG Communities.
The philosophy behind the violence prevention and personal safety geared charity, called Strong Orange (www.strongorange.org) with a clear passion and commitment to working with those most disadvantaged and at risk, has been married into a wider program to address the many needs within Heron Gate. The outcome promises to be transformational. The neighborhood residents are directly involved in moving their aspirations forward towards independence and strength in positive and constructive ways. The long term goals of Building STRONG Communities include making the template available to any community that is interested in the holisitic approach that is coming to Heron Gate soon.
