At its most recent meeting, Campbell River Council received a presentation and endorsed the Community Safety and Well-Being Action Plan.

The Plan incorporates insights and feedback from community partners, social service providers, law enforcement and the general public that was collected throughout 2024.

The feedback helped focus recommendations, actions and initiatives included in the plan, which look to enhance safety, sense of safety and overall well-being within Campbell River for all residents and visitors.

It identifies 39 of the most critical actions to be implemented over the next one to two years and identifies the City’s role, including leading, partnering, advocating and/or supporting.

The City will lead 17 different projects and initiatives, some of which are already underway. Projects cover housing, homelessness, revitalization of public spaces and collaboration, among other priority areas.

Council has directed staff to establish a Community Safety Working Group to support the implementation of the actions outlined in the plan, coordinate the next steps, monitor progress and measure results.
