Community safety and well-being (CSWB) plans are what result when municipal government, police, local organizations and residents discuss local issues and then commit to working together in new ways to create a safer, healthier municipality. The Ontario Government now requires municipalities to prepare and adopt these plans. A safe community is one where harms to its members are prevented whenever possible, and where harms that cannot be prevented are reduced and healed as effectively as possible. Safety and well-being are interlinked. When people are well, they are more able to prevent, reduce, and heal from harms. And when communities are safe, it is easier for people to thrive.
