PEC Council receives update on Community Safety and Well-Being Plan

By Lindsey Harren Nov 11, 2026 | 1:08 AM

Prince Edward County is well ahead compared to other local municipalities, with a formal Community Safety and Well-Being Plan.

County Council and staff received praise for working collaboratively with The County Foundation and the Loyalist College Centre For Healthy Communities.

Anne VanVlack, the Vital Signs coordinator at the County Foundation spoke to Council, along with Kurstin Salisbury from Loyalist.

The pair are currently working with county staff to update the existing Community Safety and Well-Being Plan that will take the county into 2031.

Ontario municipalities are required to have such a plan, which acts as a roadmap for tackling social issues. The plan often highlights how a municipalities can collaborate with other community agencies, police services, and health care organizations.

Overall, VanVlack and Salisbury walked Council through how the plan has been implemented, what it highlights, and the public consultation piece. Through the public consultation process over the summer, the team heard that people value community connection, and are concerned about affordability.

Another public consultation period will start on November 19th.

County council will receive another update early next year. Council just received the information on Tuesday.
