NEWS RELEASE
CITY OF BARRIE
*************************
The City of Barrie has launched a survey to gain feedback on how residents feel about safety and well-being in the city.
The survey is part of the city’s community safety and well-being plan. The public survey can be accessed at surveymonkey.com/r/CSWBSurvey. The survey should take approximately five minutes to complete, and the deadline to complete the survey is Jan. 20, 2023.
“Our shared vision for a better and safer Barrie involves 15 actions led by a variety of local organizations,” says Mayor Alex Nuttall. “The results of this survey will help us define what areas residents would like us to focus on, with the ultimate goal of supporting the city’s overall strategic priority of community safety.”
In 2021, Barrie’s 2021-2024 community safety and well-being plan was developed by a committee, with input from a public survey, focus group meetings and community partners. Together, 15 partner organizations committed to help implement a shared plan for a safer Barrie. The plan has four areas of focus that cover the action items:
- A safer Barrie by working together
- Connected communities are safe communities
- Safety is for everyone
- Prepared and protected
The feedback from the survey will help the committee to evaluate the plan and progress on the action items.
Learn more about the plan via adopted strategies and plans at barrie.ca/government.
