Community Safety and Well-Being Plan>
Under the Province of Ontario’s Bill 175, Safer Ontario Act (2018), the Ministry of the Solicitor General requires that the Council of every municipality shall prepare and, by resolution, adopt a Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Plan on or before July 1, 2021.
The North Simcoe Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Plan is our commitment to work together towards improved social outcomes for our residents. Community safety and well-being is the ideal state of a sustainable community where everyone is safe, has a sense of belonging, opportunities to participate, and where individuals and families are able to meet their needs for education, health care, food, housing, income, and social and cultural expression.
The 2025-2029 North Simcoe CSWB Plan outlines Midland, Penetanguishene, Tay and Tiny’s shared priorities to support a safer, healthier community. Based on the valuable information and experiences shared by local stakeholders, community partners, service providers and residents, the North Simcoe CSWB Plan 2025-2029 focuses on three main priorities: Housing and Homelessness, Mental Health and Addiction (MHA), and Access to Services and Supports.
Safety and well-being starts with proactive approaches to social development. The North Simcoe CSWB Plan is a shared commitment from local government, police, and community partners across sectors to work together to address social inequities through lasting, systemic solutions.
The North Simcoe CSWB Plan will address local needs based on local risk factors. This type of planning is intended to focus on upstream strategies. By examining and addressing root causes rather than just the symptoms, we can improve the lives of residents in our community by changing outcomes specific to health, well-being and safety.
