The Belvedere Community League, believes in partnerships and working together towards developing a safe place to live, work and play.  Strong relationships between neighbourhood, neighbours and organizations are key to the many safety issues including trust in police services, fire department and many different city departments, knowledge of rights, language barriers and diverse populations.

The Belvedere Neighbourhood believes in “…take deliberate actions to help make the neighbourhood feel safer for all community members.” and places a high importance on engaging residents (including those in all economic backgrounds, who are new immigrants and/or who are from diverse ethnic backgrounds), businesses and organizations in this process.  By building stronger relationships, we can better understand how we all play a part in making our neighbourhood safer.  An important part of this is to build awareness of the activities/events and identify many ways for the community to get involvement.  Encouraging residents to be more active in their neighbourhood will lead to developing a safer community for us all.

Prevention is the most powerful tool in the fight against crime and becomes even more effective when people in the community work together. Your efforts can help create a stronger sense of community and build a neighbourhood that’s pleasant and safe to live in.  Meet your neighbours, whether a house or an apartment, get each other’s contact information so that you can contact each other if something arises.  Discuss concerns about your neighbourhood, keep an eye on your neighbours homes and make the call regardless if it a crime in progress, fire or a medical emergency this helps everyone!
