Provincial mandate and Council alignment

As of Jan. 1, 2019, the Police Services Act requires municipalities to develop and adopt community safety and well-being plans.

Our plan aligns with Council's strategic priority of ensuring an Equitable Region. The Region seeks to provide opportunities for a safe and inclusive Niagara by listening and responding to our community needs and planning for future growth.
