Quinte West Council will get an in-depth look at the city’s Community Safety and Well-Being plan on Monday night.
The 31-page plan, which is mandated by the provincial government, has been in the works since 2019 and aims to increase community-wide efforts to find the route causes of various social issues, rather than taking a reactive approach to dealing with them.
The committee, which put together the report, suggests the biggest focus right now be put on affordable housing and mental health supports, and laying out a series of objectives to achieve over the next three years.
Specific strategies for those objectives will be developed in the coming months and be presented to council in the fall or winter of this year.
