Safe and Well Oxford
From September to December 2020, our entire county engaged in an initiative, mandated by the Province of Ontario, to develop a Community Safety & Well-being Plan for municipalities across Oxford. The goal of the plan development was to help address priority risks, such as mental and physical health, housing and addictions, with proactive, integrated strategies for children, youth, adults older adults and families who live, work and participate in our communities.
The planning process was spearheaded by a multi-sectoral Advisory Committee made up of representative from across Oxford municipalities, including police and emergency services, health care, social services, school boards and community providers.
Over the last year, more than 1,400 community members and front-line service providers have shared their ideas about how to address priority risks and improve the safety and well-being of their communities.
