Community safety and well-being is complex. It is influenced by many interrelated factors, including income, housing, mental well-being, discrimination, and access to services.
The Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Plan addresses local risks to safety and well-being at the community level in seven priority areas.
The City of Ottawa’s Community Safety and Well-Being Plan priorities are:
Discrimination, Marginalization and Racism
Financial Security and Poverty Reduction
Gender-based Violence and Violence Against Women
Housing
Integrated and Simpler Systems
Mental Well-Being
Youth Social Development
The existing seven priorities were developed through community engagement and data analysis. They remain relevant and rooted in lived community experience and municipal priorities.
The 2025 CSWB Plan Four Year Review will examine, validate, and where required refine the current priorities, strategies, and outcomes. The goal is to activate and amplify impactful work that is already underway. It will build on collaborative efforts across City departments, partner organizations and the broader community.
