Community Engagement

What is community engagement?

Community engagement is about your participation with others to improve community safety and help prevent crime.  Volunteering at your community centre, joining a community garden, starting or working with a local citizens group, advocating for change, fundraising for a new youth program, helping your neighbour with child care - are all examples of community engagement.

Are you concerned about community safety?

An engaged community is a safer community!  Our community engagement coordinators are available to assist you in resolving issues of loitering, vandalism, intimidation, discrimination, theft/break & enter, or drug activity. They are also available to assist with strengthening community pride,  improving relationships within your community or expanding/improving neighbourhood services.

How can we help?

Our community engagement coordinators act as a helping hand - to answer your questions, get a process started, provide guidance along the way, or work with you to develop an action plan.  They also act as a link to other key community resources including: residents, neighbourhood associations, funders, agencies, faith groups, police, government and schools.
