When Was The Last Shooting In Entertainment District

It is encouraging that the province is allocating more $$$$ to law and order but you have to wonder if this isn't just an attempt to shift the emphasis away from increased gang violence and shootings on neighborhood streets and after hour clubs not in the entertainment district.

The provincial government announced an additional $5 million in funding on Sunday to fight crime in Toronto's entertainment district.

The money is going to the Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy to curb violence in the popular downtown clubbing spot.

TAVIS, which was started in 2005 to target and disrupt gun violence, will use the funds to set up a permanent rapid response team to deal with crime in the area.

Monte Kwinter, the province's community safety and correctional services minister, made the announcement at a press conference with Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair.
