VISION STATEMENT 
A safe, healthy and crime-free environment in which to live, work, and grow.

MISSION STATEMENT
To identify and implement manageable solutions to the root causes of crime in our community by coordinating and mobilizing community based action teams.

WHAT WE ARE
The Partners in Action Committee is a solution-oriented, community driven committee that addresses crime prevention through social development (CPSD).  We work mainly in the areas of housing, homelessness, recreation, childcare, and neighbourhood capacity building but take on other topics as well.  Our goal is to problem solve by bringing the right partners to the table and creating real change on a community level.

WHAT WE DO
The Partners in Action Committee delivers!  We create action teams that work together until problems are solved.  There can be up to 15 to 20 action teams working at any given time and 50 to 60 different agencies, businesses and groups involved in the action teams.  We are also the “home” for community strategies.  We ensure that recommendations are followed through by organizing action teams to complete the strategies.
