Prince George City Council will be hearing initial recommendations from the Select Committee on a Safe, Clean and Inclusive Community tomorrow (Monday) night.
City Council identified several priorities for the 2020 term including identification of the City’s role in implementing BC’s poverty reduction strategy – Together BC.
Council identified supporting initiatives that provide access to safe housing, food, and community services, as a Social Health and Well-being focus area.
From November 2019 – 20, 22 recommendations regarding the city’s role in implementing the province’s strategy were created.
A community engagement process on these recommendations will begin next month.
