The Haliburton County Community Safety & Well-Being Plan was endorsed by county council and its four partner municipality councils in early 2022. The CSWB Plan was created over two years in collaboration between community organizations, partners and service providers, residents, as well as police services, and local government and county leadership in response to provincial legislation.

CSWB Planning supports a collaborative approach to addressing local priorities through the implementation of programs/strategies in four planning areas, including social development, prevention, risk intervention and incident response. By engaging in the CSWB planning process, communities will be able to save lives and prevent crime, victimization and suicide.

This marks a shift in focus from a reactive, responsive-based approach, to a more proactive, holistic approach to community safety and helps ensure those in need of help receive the right response, at the right time, and by the right service provider. It will also help to improve interactions between police and vulnerable residents by enhancing frontline responses to those in crisis.

Community members came together to develop a Plan that provides a roadmap for how partners can work together across different sectors toward a shared vision to make Haliburton County a safer, more inclusive, and connected community for all its residents.

The ultimate goal of this type of community safety and well-being planning is to achieve sustainable communities 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 success of society is linked to the well-being of each and every individual.

Four key evidence-based priority areas that align with the needs of our community and their service providers are identified in the Haliburton County CSWB Plan: Housing and Homelessness; Poverty and Employment; Mental Health, Substance Use and Addiction, and Healthcare and System Access.

Additionally, each priority area is underpinned by critical enablers - both public and active transportation; streamlined system access/navigation; continuous stakeholder and community engagement; data collection and sharing - as well as risk factors - environment and climate change; geographic distribution; population/demographic-based challenges and public health threats.

As a living document, the Plan acts as a guide for key interested parties to come together, and address community safety and well-being needs in innovative and impactful ways. It is intended to be driven by key partners, interested parties, service providers, and local government alike, and to continuously reflect the changing needs of our community members as progress is made.

We want to hear from you - please contact us with any non-emergency emerging safety and well-being issues you see or experience in Haliburton County (in an emergency, please call 9-1-1); ideas and suggestions on how to improve local safety and well-being and information about activities, events or projects that might help others.
