The Community Safety and Well-Being Planning Framework

The Provincial Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Planning Framework provides guidance to municipalities to develop coordinated, proactive strategies to address local risks. Rooted in evidence-based decision-making and cross-sector collaboration, the framework supports municipalities in creating safer, healthier, and more resilient communities through integrated, long-term planning.

• Focus on upstream solutions that reduce long-term reliance on reactive services/incident response
• Understand interventions across four levels: social development, prevention, risk intervention, and emergency response
• Promote collaboration between sectors like health, policing, housing, and social services
• Monitor progress and adapt plans based on outcomes and evolving community needs
