CeaseFire Halifax will continue to operate until at least this summer thanks to temporary funding from the province, but the community group that works to prevent violence still faces an uncertain future.
CeaseFire works with young men between 16 and 24 who are at risk of being involved in gang violence. It works within their communities to build trust one-on-one and convince clients to use alternatives to violence.
Government is one of those dirty words to a lot of people, especially, many of the high-risk folk who connect with [us] because they don't trust police. They don't trust government. That's one of the reasons we are able to operate as we are, because we are a non-profit organization."
