What is the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan (CSWBP) Grey-Bruce?  

The Community Safety and Well-Being Plan helps organizations improve the things that keep us healthy, happy, and safe. Together, we use research to create solutions focused on education, health care, food, housing, income, crime, and belonging. It is important that we create a welcoming community where problems are solved before they happen and where different professionals and community members work together to help people now and in the future.

The ongoing work of this group is supported by an advisory committee representing almost 75 partners from across Bruce and Grey counties who are working together to address crime prevention by investing in social development, prevention, and risk interventions. This upstream preventative model focuses on creating protective factors that make individuals less vulnerable to crime and victimization.
