About Community Safety and Well-Being for Huron
In 2018, the Province of Ontario passed Bill 175, “Safer Ontario Act”. This Act requires that every municipality in Ontario adopt a Community Safety and Well-Being Plan. The Community Safety and Well-Being for Huron Plan was prepared in collaboration with all 9 lower-tier municipalities in Huron County and a multi-sectoral Advisory Committee that included representatives from social and community organizations, school boards, boards of health, the police service and other local service providers working to protect or enhance safety and well-being.
The Plan was adopted in June 2021 by Goderich Council and has identified the following four (4) priority areas for action based on their research and community engagement:
- Mental Health and Addictions
- Housing and Homelessness
- Domestic and Family Violence
- Community Safety and Security
A multi-sectoral Oversight Committee has been established to oversee the implementation of the Plan. Collaboration across sectors is important so that root causes of crime and complex social issues can be addressed by focusing holistically on social development, prevention, and risk prevention. This approach to community safety and well-being recognizes that complex social problems cannot be addressed by the police alone. Local service providers working in areas such as health, mental health and addictions, education, community and social services, and children and youth services play an integral role.
