A SAFE, INCLUSIVE & WELCOMING DOWNTOWN FOR ALL
The Welcoming Streets Pilot program supports the downtown community in creating a safer space for all. Working with businesses, residents and vulnerable people in Downtown Brampton, the Welcoming Streets Leaders will provide support in situations that do not require police intervention and engage with members of the community to ensure they are connected with the services they need.
