Huron residents asked to fill out a survey on community safety and well-being

Huron County residents are being asked to complete an online survey as part of its Community Safety and Well-Being plan.

The province is requiring all communities to have the plans by January 1, 2021. In developing the plans, municipalities must work with police services and local service providers in health care, social services, and education to address local community risks.

“Huron County has some well-developed relationships between the existing service providers and is working to build on those relationships,” said Florence Witherspoon, member of the Working Group established to set up the plan. “In creating the plan, we will better be able to serve those who utilize these services, reduce duplication and ensure those who need the services have access to them in an efficient manner.”

You can find the survey here.
