Safety & Security
A prosperous community begins with a sense of peace. We believe that safety is not just the absence of crime, but the presence of community care. This pillar details the collaborative work of the Chinatown Safety Council (CSC), moving beyond reactive enforcement to a proactive model of well-being.
Collaborative Action: Uniting 13 stakeholder groups, including the Edmonton Police Service, REACH Edmonton, and social agencies, to create a unified safety response.
Highlights:
24/7 Crisis Diversion: A vital partnership ensuring individuals in distress receive appropriate social support, keeping our streets welcoming for everyone.
Motion-Activated Lighting: We have provided free, high-intensity lighting units to over 50 local businesses, illuminating dark zones and successfully deterring illicit activity.
Monthly "Litter Clean Up": Our community-led initiatives have cleared over 2,000 bags of debris and safely removed 5,164 needles, reclaiming our public spaces with pride.
