The Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN) Act is a
proposed new law that would give people a new way to keep their
communities safer.
Public
safety investigators would investigate complaints about:
-
Drug
use, dealing or associated activities
-
Prostitution
-
Bootlegging
-
Use of
non-potable intoxicating substances (like Lysol or
hairspray)
-
Gaming
If this
law was passed, people who were disturbing their neighbours this
way could be evicted from the property. An investigator
could also work with the residents of the property to find another way to stop
the activities without an eviction order.
This law
would only apply to activities that have a negative effect on
the community and are ongoing, not those that only happen
occasionally.
The Department is consulting with residents to find out if this
law would work in the NWT. If you don't find the information
you're looking for on this website, please call us.
