Learn More About Red Flag Laws <\/p>\n
We encourage the public to visit www.stopviolence.ca\/red-flags<\/a>, where they can access clear and accessible information about: <\/p>\n What Red Flag laws are and how they may help prevent weapons-related harm; <\/p>\n Emergency prohibition orders and emergency limitations on access orders; <\/p>\n Who may apply for these orders; <\/p>\n What happens during the application process; <\/p>\n Protections available to people making an application; <\/p>\n Warning signs that someone’s access to weapons may pose a risk; <\/p>\n The connection between weapons-related risk, intimate partner violence, coercive control, and suicide risk; and <\/p>\n Where to find legal information, safety resources, and victim support. <\/p>\n The website is intended to help individuals, families, friends, service providers, and other community members better understand the legal options that may be available when there are serious concerns about someone harming themselves or others with weapons. <\/p>\n LRT station advertisements are now appearing across Ottawa helping bring this information directly into the communities the campaign was created to serve. <\/p>\n The project is funded by Public Safety Canada. For more information about the “Safety from Weapons: Red Flag Laws – Using the Law When Someone’s Likely to Cause Harm” campaign, please visit Ottawa Victim Services’ dedicated Red Flag Laws website at https:\/\/stopviolence.ca\/redflag\/<\/a>\u00a0or Lanark County Interval House and Community Support’s website at https:\/\/lcih.org\/<\/a>. <\/p>\n
