Public Advisory: Residents Asked to Provide Feedback to Advisory Council
The following is being issued at the request of the Premier’s Advisory Council on Crime and Community Safety:
On January 23, 2015, the Honourable Paul Davis, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, announced appointments to the Premier’s Advisory Council on Crime and Community Safety. The council is mandated to make recommendations to Premier Davis and the Minister of Justice and Public Safety that would make Newfoundland and Labrador safer for all residents. These recommendations will be made after information is gathered through consultation with stakeholders including the general public and recognized experts, as well as through the study of relevant literature and the assessment of innovative practices already used in other areas of Canada.
Since being appointed, members of the council have done considerable work including holding two consultation sessions with stakeholders in Happy Valley-Goose Bay and St. John’s. Plans for sessions for other regions of the province are being finalized.
To gather feedback from the general public, the Premier’s Advisory Council on Crime and Community Safety is encouraging residents to use one of the following methods:
