Dufferin Community Safety and Well-Being Plan 2021-2024

The Comprehensive Police Services Act (2019) requires municipal governments to adopt Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) plans. The legislation states every municipal council is required to develop and adopt these plans by working in partnership with a multi-sectoral advisory committee, effective January 1, 2019 and to be completed originally by January 1, 2021. However, in light of the pandemic the Province signaled that an extension would be granted. In June 2021, County Council and all 8 lower tier municipalities adopted Dufferin's Community Safety & Well-Being Plan.

For more information about the Ontario CSWB plan framework, please click here.

Dufferin County's Community Safety and Well-Being Plan is a four year plan (2021 to 2024) which will be reviewed annually. There are many elements which create safety and well-being in a community. To ensure this plan is achievable and strategic in focus, the Advisory Committee used local data and information from the organization and community consultation process to identify five priority areas for this first plan. The following five priority areas of focus have been identified for action in Dufferin’s Community Safety and Well-Being Plan:

1. Mental Health and Well-Being
2. Housing and Homelessness
3. Substance Use and Addiction
4. Discrimination, Marginalization and Racism
5. Community Safety and Violence* Prevention

A structure has been established to lead the implementation of strategies and actions in each of these five areas. This structure will leverage the use of existing planning tables in Dufferin County and ensure that there is an integrated response which leverages resources and recognizes the inter-relationships amongst these five priority areas.
