Community Safety Month

A safe, secure community fosters stronger connections, promotes active lifestyles, and boosts overall well-being.

Community Safety Month is an annual event held every October and reminds us that there are many ways we can feel safer through connecting with our community.

We can help build a safer environment by watching out for each other and connecting with our neighbours. Visit the Neighbourhood Watch webpage to learn how you can join a local group and play a part in protecting your community.
