Community Initiatives
Community Safety & Well-Being Planning
The County of Bruce is one of the leading members of the Community Safety & Well-Being Planning initiative. The majority of Municipalities of Bruce and Grey have come together with community partners to undertake Community Safety and Well-Being Planning. This process involved the identification of risks across Bruce and Grey related to safety and well-being, and then the creation of a plan to address priority risks, taking a crime prevention approach.
