Red Deer launch of Fraud Prevention Month March 5

March 2024 marks the 20th Anniversary of Fraud Prevention Month in Canada.

The Red Deer launch of Fraud Prevention Month happens March 5, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the downtown branch of the Red Deer Public Library.

Organizers say Fraud Prevention Month is a month-long crime prevention initiative aimed at educating and informing consumers and communities on how to recognize, report and stop fraud.

Across Alberta during the month of March, officials say interested police and law enforcement agencies, and community and consumer groups form the Alberta Fraud Prevention Month committee to plan launches and events to spread key messages to the public on how to better protect themselves.
