Goals:
-To engage community and inspire action.
-To build understanding of issues and concepts that lead to social and structural harms.
-To improve community knowledge about Upstream Prevention as a way of preventing harm and creating a safe, more equitable, and just community where everyone has opportunities to thrive.
The Waterloo Region Crime Prevention Council (WRCPC) is made up of 40 community leaders representing diverse sectors from our community including education, mental health, child and youth advocates, politicians and enforcement.
The WRCPC strives to shift the focus of crime prevention upstream, building a community foundation of equity where all citizens experience safety and opportunity.
We work with communities and systems to address barriers and amplify voices not being heard. We prevent and reduce social harms by driving structural change through evidence-informed strategies that address the root causes and honour diverse ways of knowing and being.
