Priority 04
Safe Streets & Neighbourhoods
Peter Diedrich will work to restore safety through coordinated action and measurable results in every neighbourhood, workplace, and public space.
The challenge
Safety concerns have eroded confidence in our streets and downtown. Fixing that requires more than statements — it needs coordination, accountability, and follow-through.
Our plan
- Continue to "right size" the Thunder Bay Police Services budget.
- Strengthen partnerships with community groups and Indigenous leaders.
- Ensure neighbourhoods, downtowns, workplaces, and public and event spaces feel safe again.
What success looks like
Residents, workers, and visitors who feel safe walking our streets — backed by data that shows we're delivering.
