In 2018, Port Cares and the Niagara Regional Police Service, along with several community agencies, launched the first Situation Table in the Niagara region. In January, 2024, the model was expanded to cover the entire region.
Situation Tables bring together service providers from a variety of sectors to:
– Identify risk
– Coordinate wraparound supports to community members in need
– Prevent crisis
– Better support vulnerable individuals living in the community.
The region-wide expansion of the Situation Table model is a key priority of Niagara’s Community Safety and Well-Being Plan 2021-2025.
