Safety & Well-being
Municipalities across Ontario are required to develop and approve a Community Safety and Well-being Plan as per the Police Services Act. By working collaboratively at the municipal level to tackle priority risks and needs of the community through a strategic and holistic lens, communities will be better prepared to meet current and future needs of their residents. In Oxford County, the eight municipalities of Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock, Ingersoll, Norwich, South-west Oxford, Tillsonburg, Woodstock and Zorra, chose to work in partnership to develop a joint plan that can be implemented at both a system-wide and local level.
The DEI Action Coalition was created to provide information and resources for the Community.
Oxford County and Area Municipalities have a responsibility to create a culture within their organizations that counters racism and discriminatory behaviors and practices, and to establish a community that is safe, welcoming, and accessible for all citizens and that respects their dignity and independence.
