North Bay’s safety committee is criticized for inaction despite its name, failing to conduct surveys or improve conditions like trail lighting.
North Bay’s Community Safety and Well-Being Committee faces criticism from councillors, including Tanya Vrebosch, who called it ineffective despite its name, citing a lack of substantive action on safety issues.
While the committee hosts cultural events, it has not conducted a resident safety survey as requested, nor has it implemented tangible improvements like better lighting on unsafe trails.
The committee, which meets only when summoned by Chair Gary Gardiner, last met in June to approve a revised safety plan deemed lacking in actionable steps by several councillors.
A 2025 survey showed a slight decline in residents reporting feeling unsafe, from 83.65% in 2020 to 79.27%, but critics argue progress remains insufficiently translated into results.
