flag Ontario plans to expand community cameras to fight car thefts and home invasions, backed by a $2 million grant.

flag Ontario Premier Doug Ford is proposing to expand community surveillance cameras to combat rising car thefts and home invasions in regions like York Region and Peel, following a recent $2 million provincial grant covering half the cost of CCTV systems. flag Speaking in Hamilton, Ford said cameras could quickly identify stolen vehicles by license plate and noted strong resident interest, especially after multiple home invasions in Etobicoke. flag He emphasized that installations would require both municipal and community approval, though no details on camera types, placement, or data use have been released. flag The proposal comes amid ongoing discussions with municipalities, while Ford's office did not confirm whether banned speed cameras could be repurposed for surveillance.
