CBC Article: Community Safety at Driftwood

The community feedback at the roundtable discussions on how to improve safety, is what led to the creation of an action plan. Some of the asks from the community included better information sharing about city programs, better lighting in and around the community centre, TCH buildings and on local streets. Engaging and designing more outreach programs that connect with young people remains a priority.
