Community Safety and Well-Being Plan

The Aylmer–Elgin–St. Thomas Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Plan is a collaborative plan developed by the City of St. Thomas, Town of Aylmer, and County of Elgin, together with local municipalities, community organizations, and other partners.

The plan takes a proactive, collaborative approach to building safer, healthier, and more connected communities across the region. It recognizes that community safety and well-being are influenced by a range of factors and that complex issues are best addressed by working together across sectors.

The plan focuses on five priority areas:

• Education and Skills Development
• Housing Security
• Mental Health and Well-Being
• Public Safety
• Substance Use and Addiction

The plan is reviewed and updated periodically to reflect changing community needs, local data and progress made by community partners.
