On January 1, 2019 The Government of Ontario mandated municipalities (single and upper tier) to prepare and adopt a Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) plan. As part of these legislative changes, municipalities are required to work in partnership with police services, health/mental health, education, community/social services and children/youth services as they undertake the planning process.
The goal of this plan is to achieve a sustainable community where everyone feels safe,has a sense of belonging, opportunities to participate, and where individuals and families are able to meet their needs for education, health care, food, housing, income, and social and cultural expression.
Based on extensive consultation with stakeholders and the public, Mental Health/Addictions and Affordable Housing has been determined to be the top priorities for the new Plan. The CSWB Advisory Committee is now working on developing and implementing strategies to improve the effect these issues have on the most vulnerable members of our population - low income residents.
The plan and strategies can be viewed and downloaded HERE.
