Over the course of 2024, the City of Campbell River (the City) worked closely with the Canadian Centre for Safer Communities to develop a comprehensive Community Safety and Well-being (CSWB) Plan. The CSWB Plan is a collaborative vision with an actionable plan that enhances safety, sense of safety, and overall well-being within the community, which was contributed to by community partners, service providers and the public.

May 2025 Update

The City is reviewing the project report and recommendations from the Project Advisory Team (PAT) with the intent of developing a CSWB Action Plan.

Thank you to all those that contributed to help shape the CSWB Plan and future Action Plan. Together, we are building a safer and more thriving Campbell River! Stay tuned for future updates.

Background

Community safety and wellbeing planning is an increasingly common approach used by local governments to address root causes and risk factors that contribute to harm and victimization. The central idea behind community safety and wellbeing planning is that resolving complex challenges such as crime, disorder, homelessness, mental health, and addictions require a collaborative approach and actions that span many different sectors and agencies. The planning process seeks to understand the set of problems faced by a community through information gathering and research, followed by community consultation, surveys, and field assessment. This process helps identify a community’s strengths alongside gaps or problem areas that need to be addressed. From there, key priorities are identified with actions that could affect positive change.

The City, working with CCSC, reviewed past reports and research, engaged the public through a community safety survey, completed a series of 1:1, group and self-led engagement session with community groups, agencies, interested parties, and local First Nations, and compiled a safety assessment of relevant data and statistics.

Throughout the project, a Council appointed Project Advisory Team (PAT), made up of community partners, elected officials and citizens, worked to gather input and provide feedback to inform the CSWB Plan’s creation. View the PAT Terms of Reference and membership.
