City of Toronto Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan

Such a requirement already exists under the Police Services Act, but Bill 68 will amend the legislative provisions that apply to the City. Under Bill 68, the City of Toronto will be required to develop and adopt a Community Safety and Well-Being Plan, working in partnership with a multi-sectoral advisory committee. Additional requirements are also outlined in Bill 68 pertaining to conducting consultations, risk analysis, actions to mitigate those risks, monitoring, evaluating, reporting and publishing the plan. Through the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan, the City of Toronto will take a leadership role in defining and addressing priority risks in the community through proactive, integrated strategies that ensure vulnerable populations receive the help they need from the providers best suited to support them. This report outlines the approach the City will use to develop a Community and Safety Well-Being Plan that fulfills the obligations under Bill 68 and support community safety and wellbeing across the city.
