On Wednesday, May 21st from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m., Halifax Regional Municipality’s (HRM) Safe City & Safe Public Spaces Program, in collaboration with North End Business Association, will be hosting a Community Safety Assessment (CSA).

A CSA is a participatory, community-focused tool that supports residents in making public spaces safer, more accessible, and equitable.

Join us at the Italian-Canadian Cultural Association (2629 Agricola Street) to explore the neighbourhood, assess its social, natural, & built elements, and make safety recommendations through a gendered safety lens.

What to expect:

● Meet at the Italian-Canadian Cultural Association for brief instructions.

● Walk/roll together along the 1 km route, using the CSA mobile app tool to record observations.

● Debrief as a group at the original meeting spot. Complimentary refreshments and snacks will be provided.

Participants should bring:

● A fully charged smartphone or device that can connect to Wi-Fi to use & download the CSA mobile app tool.

● Comfortable shoes and clothing.

**If you do not have a device that connects to Wi-Fi, still please join us! We can pair up with devices or facilitators can record your observations for you.

Insights shared in this process are compiled in a report by HRM Safe City Program. The final report can be used by participants, community members, and municipal staff to advocate for changes in the public space so it is safer, more enjoyable, and equitable for all.
