Some new funding for the Grey Bruce Community Safety and Well-Being Plan (CSWBP) will help address issues ranging from substance use and homelessness to mental health challenges and crime.
Bruce Power has contributed $5,000 to boost the momentum of the Nuclear Innovation Institute’s Community Resiliency Strategy through collaboration and shared priorities.
“We recognize that communities across the region are experiencing a host of complex social issues related to mental health, substance use, poverty and homelessness,” said John Peevers, Senior Advisor, Corporate Affairs at Bruce Power. “We believe the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan and its focus on prevention and coordination will help build resiliency and work toward what we all want – happy, healthy and safe communities.”
The Community Safety and Well-Being Plan involves more than 78 community partners with a focus on prevention and early intervention to support people before a crisis occurs. The organization has worked to develop regional strategies to address addictions and mental health. The CSWBP also played a role in recent community forums on homelessness and human trafficking awareness.
“We’re grateful for the continued support from the community and partners like Bruce Power,” said Jane Hartley, Community Safety and Well-Being Plan Steering Committee member and Executive Director of Victim Services Bruce Grey. “Together, we can make measurable, lasting change.”
The new funding is expected to help the group move ahead with major priorities, while boosting coordination and communication.
