C 0 V d V1 SECTION Introduction The Municipalities of Bruce and Grey Counties sit on the traditional territory of the Anishnaabek Nation: ell the People of the Three Fires known as Ojibwe,Oclawa,and Pottawatomie Nations.We give thanks to them,and to the Chippewas of Saugeen,and the Chippewas of Nayaashiinigmiing,as the traditional keepers of this land and water,and we also recognize the traditional homeland of the Metis Nation. The Municipalities of Bruce and Grey-spread across 8,592 square kilometres-are known for their small towns and two First Nation communities nestled in picturesque rural landscapes. Framed by Lake Huron to the west and Georgian Bay to the east,you will rarely find yourself more than 1 minutes frombeach, or provincial park. •.lities form a vibrantcommunity with stunning natural beauty,clean air and sparkling water,where residents report high levels of satisfaction with their neighbourhoods as a place to live,with their access to community parks and recreational opportunities,and with the environmental quality of their neighbourhoods(1). Given the percentage of residents who express satisfaction with these aspects of their lives,not surprisingly many also express satisfaction with their personal relationships and mental well-being,which are important contributors to overall well-being.However,levels of satisfaction among people residing in Bruce and Grey Counties are comparatively lower for how well they feel the local government is responding to community needs, how well democracy is working in the community,and when asked about access to educational opportunities L). Those residents who report above average well-being in Bruce + and Grey tend to be men who are 65 years of age or older,are more likely to have a university or graduate degree and areco, retired with no children living at home(2).Those residents who report below average well-being are generally women who are under the age of 35,who are living on their own.They are more V likely to be living with a mental or physical disability or chronic illness that limits activity,are more likely to have children living N at home,and tend to spend more than 30%of their monthly income on housing,with 5.7%spending more than 50%of theirtA monthly income on housing L).

SECTION Community • Well-Being Planning in • • Overview The work of Community Safety and Well-Being Planning began in 2009 in Ontario with a partnership between the Ministry of the Solicitor General and the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police(OACP)—together,these two groups initiated the development of a provincial response to crime and victimization. Now,new legislative amendments outlined under part XI,Section 143 of the current Police Services Act(1990) L7) mandates every municipal council to prepare and adopt a Community Safety and Well-Being Plan (CSWBP). Under the legislation Municipalities have the discretion and flexibility to develop joint plans with surrounding municipalities or First Nation communities [s. 143(2)],although First Nation band councils are not required by the Ministry to engage in Community Safety and Well-Being Planning by the legislation. This new legislative requirement came into force on January 1, 2019, and municipalities are responsible for: • Establishing a multi-sector advisory committee,with M minimum representation defined in the legislation; Bruce and Grey expanded their representation to ensure comprehensive planning occurs. co • Conducting consultations with the advisory committee, members of the public,including youth,members of v racialized groups and of First Nations,Metis and Inuit communities,as well as community organizations that represent these groups. M C • Creating a plan that identifies:priority risk factors(e.g.including,but not limited to,systemic 0 V d discrimination and other social factors that contribute to crime,victimization,addiction, tA drug overdose and suicide);strategies to reduce the prioritized risk factors(e.g.new services, changing/coordinating existing services);and measurable outcomes. There are also requirements to publish the completed CSWBP-online,in print for review by anyone who requests it,and in any other manner or form determined by the municipality- within 30 days after adopting the plan - • [s. 149(2),O.Reg.527/18] (7).Additional regulations prescribing requirements � , r w related to monitoring,evaluating, reporting on,and reviewing the CSWBP may be outlined at a later date. r Collaborative, cross-sector Community Safety and Well-Being Planning has been shown to result in numerous benefits for individuals, the broader community, and participating partner agencies and organizations, including (5): • Enhanced communication and collaboration Enhanced feelings of safety and being cared among sector,agencies and organizations; for,creating an environment that will encourage • Stronger families and improved opportunities newcomers to the community; for healthy child development; Increased awareness,coordination of an • Healthier,more productive individuals who access to services for community members positively contribute to the community; and vulnerable groups; • Increased understanding of—and focus on—priority More effective,seamless service deliveryCO risks,vulnerable groups and neighbourhoods; for individuals with complex needs; T v New opportunities to s • hare multi-sectoral • Transformation of service delivery including 2 realignment of resources and responsibilities to data and evidence to better understand the 2 CO better respond to priority risks and needs; community through identification of trends, gaps,priorities and successes;and M • Increased engagement of community `o- groups,residents and the private sector in Reduced investment in—and reliance onCU local initiatives and networks; —incident response. The Ontario Framework The Ontario Community Safety and Well-Being Planning framework (5) helped to guide the Municipalities of Bruce and Grey and their partners as this Plan was developed. It has been crucial for all members involved in the planning process to understand the following four areas to ensure the Bruce and Grey regional CSWBP is both efficient and effective: OSocial Development 3 Risk Intervention Promoting and maintaining Mitigating situations of7 • community safety and elevated risk,where multiple 2 well-being,where a wide sectors work together to range of sectors,agencies and prevent an incident,whether it IncidenteLtesnse organizations bring different is a crime,victimization or harm, Resnse . . perspectives and expertise to the from occurring,while reducing table to address complex social the need for,and systemic issues,like poverty,from every reliance on,incident response in angle,ensuring all community order to increase access to and members are aware of services confidence in social supports, available to them and can access and decrease victimization rates those resources with ease. and the number of emergency room visits. © Prevention Proactively reducing Q Incident Response Areas of Focus identified risks and Critical and non-critical Collaboration implementing evidence- incident response,or what is based situational measures, traditionally thought of when Information Sharing policies or programs to reduce referring to crime and safety, performance locally-identified priority risks including service responses Measurement V) to community safety and well- such as police,fire,emergency being before they result in crime, medical services,child welfare v V victimization and/or harm, organizations removing a child Greater investments need to co where people participate more from their home,a person being be made in the areas of social M in risk-based programs,feel safe apprehended under the MentalCc development,prevention and ;. and less fearful,and are more Health Act,or a school principal d risk intervention-with the result confident in their own abilities expelling a student. that there will be fewer crisis to prevent harm. incidents for Municipalities and organizations to respond to. SECTION A Systems Approach toEnhancing Safety • Well-Being Bruce and Grey In 2019, in response to the new legislation passed under the Police Services Act,the majority of the lower-tier Municipalities of Bruce and Grey Counties joined forces with both counties,eight police services,fourteen police services boards,three boards of education,and twenty-nine education,health and social service agencies and community committees to undertake regional Community Safety and Well-Being Planning.And,while many communities across Ontario put their planing processes on • • in 2020 while attempting to cope with the impactsof • • Bruce and Grey made the decision to continue with this extremely important work as so much progress had been made during the winter and spring.

Bruce and Grey residents were recruited using a number of different methods such as traditional media campaigns and social media spearheaded by both Counties,the 16 participating Municipalities and the 54 participating community organizations,as well as through the use of the 211 network of community agencies.When the , survey closed,there were 1934 responses.Once non- ', ~ residents(n=84)and incomplete survey responses were ;�.. removed,the final data set was based on 1791 mostly or m fully completed records.Where possible,"other(please k specify)"text responses were recoded back into they o6 standard response categories and all'other(please v specify)"and open-ended questions were coded into themes and summarized.See Appendix 3 for a complete ' . listing of survey questions,and Section 6 of this Plan for summary responses related to the Priority Areas of Risk. d N S��SECTION Collaboration, The Bruce and Grey CSWBP Model for collectiveThe partners working across Bruce and Grey Counties have always understood that the issues that impact the safety and well-being of their residents are often systemic,complex and require •lvement,effort and action from • once.While someand impactrisks can be addressed at an individual level through approaches like the Grey Bruce Situation Table for Acute Response(STAR),others require a broader cross-sector or'systems-based' approach.Bruce and Grey's model for collaboration,planning and action outlines a flexible, action-oriented process to identify and respond to a wide range of community and system-level issues that • well-being across Bruce and The model is designed to enable The model will also: the following key functions: Convene executive leaders from organizations with • To provide an established mechanism through system planning accountability in Bruce and Grey; which emerging or known safety and well-being Achieve greater coordination and collaboration issues can be identified,prioritized and addressed between existing issue and planning tables and in collaboration with the community; support consolidation where appropriate; • To ensure a focus on social development Strengthen how the community plans and deploys and preventative solutions(upstream resources to address priority issues; interventions);and Create opportunities to align resources and efforts • To address system-level barriers and gaps in the to achieve collective impact for the identified CO V) human services system that negatively impact community safety and well-being priorities; U T people who are vulnerable and result in an Anticipate issues and service gaps through increased demand on emergency and crisis-driven enhanced data and knowledge sharing;and services(downstream interventions).
