WELLINGTON COUNTY – There’s “No Room for Hate” in Wellington County.
That’s the message a new campaign launched by Crime Stoppers Guelph Wellington, Victim Services Wellington, and Wellington County OPP will be focusing on.
According to Sarah Bowers-Peter CSGW Program Coordinator, the logic of “No Room For Hate”, is to shine a light on a crime that targets valued members of the community.
She says “crime against black and indigenous communities, religious groups and the LGBTQ2S+ communities can and do happen anywhere.”
Bowers-Peter points out as these crimes target minority groups, a majority of the population will not experience these crimes, as they do with other crimes such as fraud
She states the objective of the campaign is to inform all members of the community and use CSGW as the call to action to report the crime anonymously and confidentially.
“By partnering with Victim Services Wellington, supports for victims of Hate Crime are highlighted. Increased understanding of the realities of the victims of Hate Crime is also a key objective.”
“Hate Crime is complicated and yet very straight forward” said Bowers-Peter. “We know residents of the County of Wellington want all members of the community to be safe.”

A special one-day event is also being planned for November with additional information forthcoming on No Room For Hate social media platforms and www.csgw.tips .
