Connect. Act. Engage.

The Sarnia Lambton Alliance against Hate (SLAH) provides support to victims of hate motivated acts. The program is a result of a partnership with the Sarnia Lambton Local Immigration Partnership, the Lambton Kent District School board, and the Sarnia Police.

SLAH is designed to walk alongside individuals when they have been a target of hate motivated acts.

The support provided includes:

  • Providing community resource information related to social services, religious institutions, and community groups.
  • Provide emotional support
  • Provide support when a police report is filed
  • Working collaboratively with program partners to address potential barriers to reporting acts
  • Education regarding what a hate crime is and how it impacts individuals and communities
  • Explore ways to be an ally to peers, neighbours, and colleagues

SLAH is also committed to capturing an accurate representation of hate motivated acts in our community.
