FUTURE EVENTS
MARCH 26, 2019
Throughout 2018, many of you participated in defining a safer community and prioritizing your safety concerns. Your input was collected to determine how and where to direct resources. It led to the creation of a list of potential community-driven safety initiatives. At this meeting, we will look at this list and focus on putting ideas into action. We will discuss several achievable initiatives, including:
- Positive street-level activities (e.g. community walkabouts; busking zones; “Claim the Corner” and other pop-up events etc. that add vibrancy to targeted areas)
- McCauley-specific safety signage (a positive, connecting and motivating message that also directs traffic to safety resources – similar to Alberta Avenue’s “We Believe in 118”)
- Community Clean Up Collective (a regular multi-party activity to encourage shared responsibility, address litter in targeted priority locations and build connectedness through community dinners)
