Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS) will receive $460,000 courtesy of the provincial government's civil forfeiture grant program.
Of the total, $250,000 will go towards raising awareness and building capacity to address community safety and prevent violence against women along the Highway of Tears.
This will include the delivery of seven community safety workshops to train Aboriginal leaders, educators, community agencies, RCMP and victim services on the use of a violence prevention toolkit.
CSFS will also undertake a media awareness campaign to educate the public about violence against women and to promote violence prevention.
And $210,000 will go towards implementing a Walk Tall program in Burns Lake.
This program will entail gender-specific programming, intensive case management for high risk youth, recreational and cultural activities and mentorship programming.
Relationship building between the RCMP and youth will also be a key component.
A record $5.5 million in grants have been awarded to various groups and organizations around the province from the latest round of grants generated from the confiscation of property obtained by crime.
The provincial government announced the grant Wednesday in a press release.
