The Issue

The safety and protection of children and vulnerable individuals in Canada demand our utmost attention and action. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have taken a significant step forward by launching the national High Risk Child Sex Offender Database. This groundbreaking initiative serves as the first publicly accessible tool in Canada, aimed at investigating and preventing crimes of a sexual nature against children. Its creation marks a pivotal moment in our collective responsibility to guard the most vulnerable among us.

The database is crucial as it provides the public with vital information, enabling informed decisions regarding the safety and well-being of children and vulnerable citizens. It empowers communities to be proactive, ensuring that we're not merely reacting to heinous acts but actively preventing them. Through increased transparency and awareness, the database fosters a more informed populace, equipped to protect their communities.

However, there is a glaring omission—Ontario, the most populous province in Canada, has yet to participate in this national endeavour. The absence of Ontario's participation compromises the database's comprehensiveness and effectiveness, leaving a critical gap in the system designed to safeguard children.

It is imperative that Ontario comes on board with the national High Risk Child Sex Offender Database. Doing so will bolster our efforts in crime prevention and ensure a uniform approach across all provinces and territories in Canada. By integrating Ontario into this process, we take a united stand against child sexual exploitation, promising a safer environment for future generations.

We call upon the Government of Ontario to act swiftly and decisively to enroll in the national database. The safety of our children cannot wait. By participating, Ontario will reaffirm its commitment to protecting its youngest and most vulnerable citizens.

Sign this petition to urge Ontario to join the national Child Sex Offender Database and help create a safer Canada for our children.
