West Parry Sound Community Safety and Well Being (CSWB) Plan Survey
The Ministry of the Solicitor General has mandated that every Municipal Council will need to prepare and adopt a Community Safety and Well Being (CSWB) Plan.
The rationale for the CSWB Planning regime as stated by the Ministry is as follows:
Police are often called upon to respond to complex situations that are non-criminal in nature as they operate on a 24/7 basis. We also know that many of these situations, such as an individual experiencing a mental health crisis, would be more appropriately managed through a collaborative service delivery model that leverages the strengths of partners in the community.
The goal of the CSWB is:
....to achieve sustainable communities where everyone is 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. The success of society is linked to the well-being of each and every individual.
In order to move this process forward in our municipality and region, the West Parry Sound Area CAO's have asked the Fire Chiefs/Community Fire Safety Staff to coordinate the planning process. Part of this process is community engagement. We need to hear from you. Everyone has a role to play in community safety and well-being.
