Part 4 – Resilience in the Face of Fear

Part 4 – Resilience in the Face of Fear ✨

Even amid fear, the people of Abbotsford are not powerless. Families, business owners, and community groups are finding ways to protect themselves and each other.

Local business associations, especially in Clearbrook, are sharing safety strategies, from installing cameras to organizing neighborhood watch networks. Churches serve as safe spaces for dialogue and support.

The Abbotsford Police extortion task force is trying to bridge the gap, offering confidential reporting and intelligence sharing. Many approach cautiously, aware of past abuses.

Resilience comes in small acts: a neighbor watching over a shop, a community leader speaking up, families protecting youth. History has taught the town fear, but it has also fostered strength, awareness, and solidarity.
