Police and social services participate as co-chairs and resources.
Key Stakeholder Committee (KSC)
The KSC brings geographic and priority area knowledge and expertise to Partnership Council decision making. It also supports the formation of action groups. The KSC consists of the leadership of those existing agencies and organizations whose mandates are aligned with the goals and objectives of the plan.
*Membership reviewed periodically as per the Terms of Reference.
Additional components that support the CSWB Partnership Council include:
