Our West End looking for residents to participate in an ongoing Safety Committee.

Friends,

See an email I received from Tammy Murray, Community Coordinator at Our West End.



Our West End Neighbourhood Renewal
is looking for West End residents to participate
in an ongoing Safety Committee.

The goal of the committee is to connect residents together to look at areas of concern in the four West Windsor neighbourhoods, and use crime prevention techniques to reduce the opportunity for crime to occur. 

This will include: training residents how to do safety audits, talking to neighbours about crime prevention, helping to connect your neighbours to our projects encouraging the use of porch lights/reporting of crime, planning safety projects and prioritizing where our next clean-ups/beautification efforts will take place.      


Questions?  Contact: Tammy Murray
Community Outreach Coordinator
Our West End, A program of Life After Fifty
519-254-1108 Ext. 134  

This is a chance to:
● learn crime prevention skills
● share information across neighbourhoods
● participate in and/or plan beautification efforts such as neighbourhood clean-ups, graffiti removal and community murals.

Recent Neighbourhood Safety Accomplishments:

We have removed graffiti and created a community mural in the Bridgeview neighbourhood, painted a Community mural in Mic Mac Park in Sandwich Towne,  held Crime Preventions Town Halls at the University of Windsor with residents and students, and for Seniors and community members at Life After Fifty. 

Our Clean Ups have spanned over 52 West Windsor blocks in St. James Marlborough, River West/University of Windsor, Bridgeview and Sandwich Towne neighbourhoods and we are planning more of each of these community beautification projects!

Where would you like us to go next?

October 4th Council Meeting

Hi friends,  I wanted to provide a brief synopsis of today's Council meeting as there are some items of interest to residents in the west-end.  First, I am happy to report that Council unanimously supported my committee motion not to remove the streetlights at Brock and Sandwich and at Campbell and Grove. There was an administrative report recommending the removal of streetlights at these intersections, among others, and Council supported my motion to keep them there considering there are two grade schools close by at each location.  Second, we were supposed to discuss and debate the Legacy Beacon project and the Festival Plaza Canopy project today. Councillor Gignac put forward a motion to defer these items until administration reported back on a comprehensive report looking at these two projects together with the Civic Esplanade project that is set to come forward at some point in the future. I supported this motion because I think it gives us a bigger picture to assess...
