Intentional Transformation: Reimagining Inclusive Community Safety and Wellbeing Conference 2024

Join us from October 27-30, 2024 at the Victoria Conference Centre on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada for an inspiring, multi-day event with scholars, government leaders, experts, people with lived experience, knowledge keepers and more, sharing their experiences with community safety and wellbeing work across North America.

Hosted by City of Victoria Mayor Marianne Alto, the conference will connect you with leaders in safety, while encouraging you to challenge, explore and discover the current trends, issues and research in the community safety and wellbeing field.

Topics will include urban safety; safety challenges in small and rural communities; solving social challenges through increased collaboration; policing and bylaw enforcement; new understandings of addiction, health and wrap-around care; strategies for supporting youth services; combatting polarization and extremism; strategies for addressing homelessness; small business crime reduction and disorder reduction strategies; and building community belonging.

Kick-off the conference by registering for a supplemental study tour or experience offered on Sunday, October 27. Pre-conference events are optional and include an OUR DWTN urban walking tour, a downtown service providers tour, a Greater Victoria urban port tour and a banquet at the Songhees Wellness Centre.

Consider extending your stay with a complementary event offered by the Strong Cities Network and Foundation for a Path Forward about practical city-led efforts to prevent hate and extremism and build local resilience, starting midday on October 30 through October 31.
