The City of Whitehorse and the Government of Yukon are working in partnership to develop a Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan for Whitehorse. This will be the first city-wide plan focused on improving safety and wellbeing for residents throughout the city. It will complement and enhance existing initiatives focused on improving safety in the downtown core, including the Government of Yukon's Downtown Whitehorse Safety Response Action Plan.
With support from the Aboriginal Community Safety Planning Initiative (ACSPI) and the Canadian Centre for Safer Communities (CCFSC), the City of Whitehorse and the Government of Yukon will develop a multi-year action plan focused on proactive actions to reduce risk, vulnerability and harm throughout Whitehorse. This will be the first time ACSPI and CCFSC have collaborated on a Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan.
The Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan for Whitehorse will identify local safety concerns, prioritize actions to address them and outline strategies to improve overall safety and wellbeing throughout the community. The planning process is expected to take approximately 18 months to complete. However, actions and solutions will be implemented throughout the planning process as they are identified. As part of the planning process, the City and Government of Yukon, together with ACSPI and CCFSC, will conduct research, collect data and undertake community engagement.
