Take the pledge
In an effort to put an end to domestic violence in our community, the North Bay Police Service has partnered with the City of North Bay and Nipissing Transition House to engage the citizens of North Bay to be part of the solution and take a stand by taking the pledge.
The One Pledge campaign is built upon the age-old notion that we are stronger together and that individual efforts are the driving force behind moving the goals of the many forward. We encourage North Bay citizens to take the pledge, online at onepledge.ca or in person at displays throughout the city.
As of today’s date, 2,023 people have taken the pledge. Our goal is to reach 20,000.
