Youth shelter maintains safe environment with NVR technology

For Canada’s largest shelter for homeless youth, an upgrade to the latest surveillance technology wasn’t a luxury, but a smart business decision. The shelter, based in Toronto’s downtown core, provides 24-by-seven crisis care to homeless youth and offers a wide range of services, including education, counseling, health care and employment assistance.
