Real Solutions for Ward Métis.
Ward Métis deserves to be safe, livable, and welcoming for everyone. Caroline Matthews will prioritize a practical, compassionate, and firm approach to community safety that reflects the real challenges our neighbourhoods face.
- Proactive Community Policing: Prioritize safety for seniors, families and workers, fostering stronger relationships between law enforcement and the people they serve.
- Zero Tolerance for Violent Crime: The rise in violent incidents & intimidation in Ward Métis must be stopped. Public parks, transit corridors, parking lots and business areas must be safe for families, seniors, and workers.
- Real Support, Not Excuses: Work with the City and Province to identify those in genuine need of help, whether it’s homelessness, addiction, or mental health, and advocate for appropriate support systems. Those actively committing crimes must face swift consequences. Compassion and consequences can co-exist.
- Partnering with Community Groups: Real solutions come from collaboration. Partnering with local organizations doing frontline work and with federal and provincial partners to better fund proven programs that reduce harm and restore dignity.
- A Balanced, Holistic Approach: Safety in Ward Métis requires more than policing. It requires a full-court press on the social conditions driving disorder, while ensuring the law is enforced consistently. Caroline leads with balance, courage, and sound judgement.
