Police, Chinatown BIA to unleash Project Blue Hog cleanup

by  • 

Police will hold a joint public meeting with leaders of the Chinatown BIA Wednesday at 10 a.m. to launch what they are calling Project Blue Hog, a blitz to clean up crime and various nuisance activity in the Kensington area. This will occur at Dundas St and Huron St where Insp. Matt Moyer and business leaders will speak about the ten-week project to address local disorder issues related to auto theft, shoplifting, panhandling, public intoxication, drugs and other related problems. It seems the often rough condition of streets in the area, and the presence of crime, are a concern to the BIA. In addition, police will conduct workshops and presentations to raise awareness for seniors in the area of Chinatown. These Seniors Safety Campaign workshops will be conducted in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. This will provide information against such fraudulent scams as the Canada Revenue Agency telemarketing scam, identity theft and Power of Attorney abuse.  Other community advisories.
