Community safety Connections @ Taylor-Massey Oakridge Feeling Safe & Sound in Our Neighbourhoods STAYING SAFE: TMO (TAYLOR-MASSEY OAKRIDGE) A RESILIENT COMMUNITY "Staying Safe- TMO: A Resilient Community" is a short-term project initiated and implemented by The Neighbourhood Group (TNG) and funded by the City of Toronto in response to the critical incidents that happen in the TMO neighbourhoods. Under this project, TNG produced the Community Resource Navigation Booklet to provide information about community resources available for community members during/after a crisis. It has been identified that recent violent incidents in the TMO area have made community members anxious about safety. Instead of depending only on police response learning more about resource navigation, crisis prevention, and coping strategies helps strengthen resiliency. Considering this, the "Staying Safe: TMO a Resilient Community" project was initiated with the objective to develop the capacity building of community members as well as to equip people with the information in dealing with a crisis. This booklet attempts to include emergency contacts, agency addresses, and places that provide the help that community members need in response to a safety incident or crisis. Thanks to all Community Crisis Respond Volunteers for collecting information and for helping in the compilation of this booklet! Also, thanks to Matthew Dewer, Community Development Officer, City of Toronto.

It is a coordinated program of municipal services, police, community organizations, faith communities, and residents to assist a neighbourhood's response and recovery from traumatic incidents. Traumatic and violent incidents are defined by the program as shootings, shots fired, stabbings, community conflicts, and gang-related activity. Following an incident, CCRP provides immediate supports, coordinates community debriefings, connects residents to services, and facilitates information sharing. Long-term supports offered by the program include enhancing community capacity, trainings, community safety audits, and the development of community safety initiatives. CCRP has three main objectives: Crisis Intervention – providing support to communities after a violent/traumatic incident. Crisis Prevention – supporting education and the development of strategies, methods, systemic policy recommendations in order to prevent violent incidents. Crisis Preparation – developing local safety networks and coordinated community crisis protocols which can provide cohesive and collaborative responses to future critical incidents. If an incident takes place in your community, and you or someone you know needs additional supports, or if you would like to join your local safety network, please contact your local Community Development Officer.
