Public Safety Community Improvement Plan

During the pandemic, additional interior safety measures were identified as another avenue to protect the public and employees from COVID-19. The Public Safety Community Improvement Plan Program was created to help cover the cost of this expense.

Through the Plan, eligible businesses may receive a onetime grant of up $2,000. For the first $1,000.00 spent, the County will refund 100% of eligible costs excluding HST, and 50% of the remaining costs up to a maximum grant value of $2,000.00. Please note, projects cannot be reimbursed for work already completed. For more details, view the Public Safety Community Improvement Plan summary (PDF).
