The City of Barrie is looking for the community’s perspective on public safety through a new online survey.
The new survey, which is part of the city’s Community Safety and Well-Being Plan, is looking to find out how people feel about safety and well-being in the city.
“Our shared vision for a better and safer Barrie involves 15 actions led by a variety of local organizations,” says Mayor Alex Nuttall.
“The results of this survey will help us define what areas residents would like us to focus on, with the ultimate goal of supporting the City’s overall strategic priority of Community Safety.”
