The County of Simcoe is expanding its community safety teams program.
A team has been operating in downtown Barrie as part of the county’s homelessness prevention strategy.
It builds relationships with unhoused people, businesses and community service providers.
They provide support, services and safe clean up.
The pilot program in Barrie has been expanded, and teams have also been set up in Orillia and Midland.
The program will also be coming to Collingwood in the near future.
