Barrie's Community Safety and Well-Being Plan was developed by a committee, with significant input from a public survey and focus group meetings. The Plan has four areas of focus that cover 15 action items, which will be implemented by the partners working with the community.
We are seeking your input as part of the effort to refresh Barrie's Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Plan. This survey is an opportunity for you to share your experiences, perspectives, and priorities to help shape a safe, inclusive, and supportive community for everyone.
Your responses will help us better understand the needs, concerns, and priorities of Barrie residents. The information gathered will guide discussions and planning efforts aimed at enhancing safety and well-being across the city.
The CSWB Plan will focus on the following four (4) areas:
Social Development: Promoting and maintaining community safety and well-being Address the underlying causes of social issues through comprehensive approaches that promote and maintain individual and community wellness. This includes opportunities for employment, income, adequate housing, access to education and other supports that promote social and economic inclusion. The goal is to ensure that individuals, families and communities are safe, healthy and educated and have housing, employment and social networks they can rely on.
Prevention: Proactively reducing identified risks Apply proactive strategies to known and identified risks that are likely to result in harm to individuals or communities if no action is taken. An example is Kenora who identified a priority risk in their community and implemented “Stop Now and Plan” – teaching children and parents emotional regulation, self control and problem solving – partners including health agencies, school boards and police.
Risk Intervention: Diminishing situations of elevated risk Addressing situations where there is an elevated risk of harm – stopping something bad from happening right before it is about to happen. Risk Intervention is intended to be immediate and prevent an incident from whether it is a crime, victimization or harm from occurring while reducing the need for extensive reliance on incident response.
Incident Response: Maintaining effective response time Includes immediate reactionary responses that may involve a sense of urgency like police, fire, emergency medical services, a child being removed from their home by a child welfare organization, a person being apprehended under the Mental Health Act, or a school principle expelling a student.
