Hamilton's Community Safety and Well-Being Plan - A Ward 1 Conversation with City Staff

 

 

City staff, Maureen and YOU in a conversation about feeling safe and supported in your city.

Have your say on the development of Hamilton’s Community Safety and Well-Being Plan!

This plan aims to ensure all residents in Hamilton feel safe, has a sense of belonging and can meet their needs for education, healthcare, food, housing, income, and social and cultural expression.

Community safety and well-being cannot be addressed by any one single institution, organization, sector, or individual - it needs all our collective action!  We want to ensure all community members have a chance to provide input on the development of this plan. The city is looking for your feedback to inform creative solutions to challenges facing Hamilton.

A Community Safety and Well-Being Plan aims to create the community conditions where:

  • Everyone is safe and has a sense of belonging
  • Everyone has access to services; and
  • Individual and families can meet their needs for education, health care, food, housing, income, and social and cultural expression.

Hamilton’s Community Safety and Well-Being Priorities

Community partners identified six local priorities for further investigation and collaboration. Community and service provider engagement in the development of this plan will focus on gathering more detailed feedback to inform desired outcomes, strategies and targeted actions on five* of the six priorities:

  • hate incidents
  • violence
  • mental health and stigmatization
  • substance use*
  • homelessness and access to affordable housing
  • access to income
