Summary
The report details a strategy to improve safety and to respond to the needs of the Aboriginal population in the west downtown area of Montreal. The first phase was completed with the following outcomes: an improved understanding of the existing services and the various actors in the district, as well as the needs of the target population; and the development of a collective, coordinated and comprehensive safety strategy for Cabot Square and its surrounding area (i.e. Strategy for Community Safety and Wellbeing).
