Oakwood-Vaughan Community Development & Safety

Oakwood-Vaughan Community Development & Safety2019-11-12T21:22:13+00:00

There is nothing more important to me than the safety of our community. The repeated acts of violence committed in our Oakwood-Vaughan neighbourhood is extremely upsetting. The fear and vulnerability residents in our community and across our city feel as a result of gun violence is unacceptable.

I welcome you to fill out the following survey questionnaire and guided discussion questions from my round table meeting found below. It’s very important that your voice is being heard.

Please note that all answers are anonymous and being kept confidential. Feel welcome to email me if you require this page to be translated or require any assistance filling out the form.
