The Canadian Centre for Safer Communities are a National non profit organization that has been contracted by Manitoba Justice to create a unique wellness and safety plan for 12 different communities in Manitoba.

 

Flin Flon has been selected as one of the communities that might benefit from the development of  a plan of this nature.

 

Stacey Colliver is the Director of Research and Services, and she lets us know where they are with their plan for Flin Flon which includes results from a recent survey. " So we received a great number of surveys, I believe we received around 800, so thanks to everyone who did that. We are conducting the analysis of the data right now. What we also do while we look at the survey results is we conduct community engagement. So we have conversations with people in the community about their experiences to either validate what we see in the survey results or to just add aditional information. We want to make sure we capture as many perspectives as possible."

 

They will be meeting with the Steering Committee from Flin Flon in October to present the results from all the data that has been collected from the past few months. Then they will start some action planning with the Steering Committee with the goal to have the plan completed in the late Fall.

 

A public document will then be put together with the public able to view the document on the City of Flin Flon website and  Facebook page.
