About the Safe Haven Logo

 

 

The Safe Haven sign is displayed only during business hours and is meant to be a welcoming indication that this business/organization is a place of safety to persons who have experienced a hate crime. It is also a visible reminder that indicates to criminals and troublemakers that the community has an organized system for protecting citizens of Hamilton.
