Couchiching Community Safety and Well-Being Plan
The Province's Safer Ontario Act, 2018 (Bill 175) requires municipalities to develop a Community Safety and Well-Being Plan using the provincial government's Community Safety and Well-Being Framework.
Under the leadership of the County of Simcoe's Emergency Management and Social Services Departments, the Township of Oro-Medonte worked in partnership with the City of Orillia and the Townships of Ramara and Severn to develop a joint plan - Couchiching Community Safety and Well-Being Plan.
The Couchiching Community Safety and Well-Being Plan was
presented and adopted by Township Council on May 26, 2021.
Based on current data and community input, the Plan will focus on the following four areas of risk:
- Mental Health and Addictions
- Social Connectedness/Safety
- Employment
- Access to Services
