The Ontario Fire Marshal’s (OFM) Office, the Toronto Fire Services and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) developed, The Arson Prevention Program for Children (TAPP-C) program in 1991.

The Niagara TAPP-C Steering Committee was formed on June 13, 2006 bringing together representatives from local social service agencies, police and fire departments. This committee continues to meet quarterly, providing support and direction to the program. The goal of the Niagara TAPP-C Committee is to ensure that all residents of the Niagara Region are aware of and have to access the program wherever they reside in Niagara.
