About
It is important to engage community members in having a responsibility to the community with regards to any level of crime. We are working to educate the community on programs, such as those that aid in mental health, drugs, human trafficking, home safeguarding, crime reporting, road safety, etc. We want residents to know where and when to call in an incident and this will help to close the gaps currently being experienced through what is shared between neighbours or over social media vs. what is being reported to the OPP.
What We Do
-
hold 3 to 5 public meetings per year where we host a speaker as well as hear community concerns and brainstorm solutions
-
have a team of executives and other volunteers to organize community events and implement solutions; this team meets 5x per year; all are welcome
-
host Safety and Crime Prevention Walk events to increase safety awareness around the neighbourhood and publicly parked vehicles
What We Hope To Do
-
increase communication and awareness between Brant North Community Members and OPP
-
ensure residents know where and when to call in an incident to close the gaps currently being experienced through what is shared between neighbours or over social media vs. what is being reported to the OPP
-
educate the community on community programs that relate to safety and wellbeing
-
share resources available to community on behalf of local organizations such as St. Leonard's, Nova Vita, Crime Stoppers, etc.
-
participate in local community events to increase awareness
-
host activities such as a colouring contest, bike rodeo, etc
