The goal of the plan is to create a sustainable community where everyone:
- Is safe
- Has a sense of belonging
- Has access to services
- Can meet their needs for education, health care, food, housing, income, and social and cultural expression
Priorities
The plan addresses local risks to safety and well-being at the community level in six areas. These were identified by Ottawa residents as being the most pressing issues during the engagement process:
- Discrimination, marginalization and racism
- Financial security and poverty reduction
- Gender-based violence and violence against women
