Community Safety and Wellbeing
We All Belong Campaign
Belonging is an important part of community safety and wellbeing. The Region's We All Belong campaign was co-designed with community to amplify the importance of belonging, and to combat hate. The campaign invites people to consider how they can reduce hate and harm in the community, and to promote belonging so everyone can feel safe and well in Waterloo Region.
Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan
Through the work of the Community Safety and Wellbeing plan, the Region began a new path to transform Waterloo Region for current and future generations–one rooted in meaningful collaboration with diverse voices to develop a shared understanding of safety and wellbeing.
The Waterloo Region Community Safety and Wellbeing Framework Building a safe and well community for all: A journey towards transformational change was approved by Regional Council on January 26, 2022.
This emerging framework has been a collaborative process to listen to the voices of many across our community, and to use those voices to create a framework for action and change. Building on the good work already underway in our community, this framework supports the goal of enabling every person who calls Waterloo Region home to feel safe, to feel like they are cared for, and to have the opportunity to thrive.
Please stay tuned for updates, as while this framework serves as the foundation for the process, there will continual chances to include more voices and for the community to collaborate and work together to build a bright future. You can also sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date on what’s happening with the plan and to get information on upcoming community events related to safety and wellbeing.
