We need your input
We're hosting another community survey to help us better understand local needs. Your feedback will help guide actions to improve safety and well-being across South Simcoe.
Please complete the survey by May 3, 2025. We appreciate your time and input!
Background
Under the Province's Safer Ontario Act, municipalities are required to develop a Community Safety & Well-being (CSWB) Plan using the provincial government’s Community Safety and Well-Being Framework (CSWB Framework). Municipalities have the flexibility to complete the planning individually or in partnership with neighbouring municipalities. Since our local policing agency, South Simcoe Police Service (SSPS), boundaries include Innisfil and Bradford West Gwillimbury, Innisfil’s planning has been done collaboratively with the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury and SSPS.
South Simcoe CSWB Plan Development
The current version of the South Simcoe CSWB Plan was created in 2021. Development followed these steps:
Determining areas of risk: A multi-sector data working group was formed to determine areas of risk and review available local data.
Consulting stakeholders: From August to December 2020, 16 presentations were completed to various groups and planning tables including partners across health, community, and social service organizations. Over 95 key-informant interview were completed to validate areas of risk, understand existing work in priority areas, and identify barriers, enablers, and opportunities.
Consulting the community: From February to March 2021, an online survey was held to gain insight into local areas of risk to help inform strategies. This data collection was completed virtually as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey had 50 respondents across Bradford West Gwillimbury and Innisfil.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the first round of engagement!
