The Town of Saugeen Shores has joined forces with 15 other lower-tier municipalities, Bruce and Grey counties, eight police services, and more than 30 education, health and social service organizations across Bruce and Grey to prepare a Community Safety and Well-Being Plan (CSWBP).

In a February 3 media release, this approach is collaborative and focuses on addressing the risks in communities that can lead to crime. The process includes: identification of programs and services in existence that already support community safety and well-being, broad community engagement to identify the risks that exist in communities across Bruce and Grey, and then action planning to address the priority risks for each municipality, as well as Bruce and Grey as a whole.

“We are pleased to be part of this collaborative planning process to streamline our approach to community safety and well-being,” said Mayor Luke Charbonneau. “We encourage everyone to complete the survey and share their views on these important topics.”

The first phase of community engagement includes a survey. Visit cswbp-brucegrey.ca to take the survey today and find out more information about this project. The survey will close on March 22, 2020.

Community engagement sessions for Saugeen Shores will be held between March and April 2020.
