COMMITTEES

SAFE & HEALTHY COMMUNITIES HAS IDENTIFIED FOUR AREAS OF NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY

The strength of Safe & Healthy Communities is the commitment of its volunteer committees who identify, create, and implement a coordinated approach to addressing community safety and reducing injuries. Each committee works independently, as part of the larger organization, to offer programs and services that met the specific needs of residents of the Assiniboia area.

The organization's four safety areas were identified with the direct involvement of the community during strategic planning events and feedback.
