2. Objective

The overall objective of the work is to support a Core Group in the community through the three facilitation stages of the CSP process. The three stages are:

1) community building 2) action planning 3) community mobilization

These stages help the Core Group develop and begin implementing their community’s safety plan.

The facilitator will support the community through these stages by performing two main tasks:

1) Deliver the Community Safety Planning (CSP) process 2) Coach and mentor the community Core Group throughout the process including within and outside of the workshop sessions.

The workshops will help build community capacity and increase community readiness to address community-identified safety issues and the facilitator’s coaching and mentoring will help nurture the communities’ ability to apply these skills. Facilitators will be trained to deliver the process in a way that responds to the current realities of the community and respects the community’s culture/traditions/religion, aspirations, and constraints. At no time will a session be held when it is not within the community’s best interest, as judged conjunctively through the community’s engagement with Public Safety Canada and at their own behest.

3. Priority for Modern Treaty Beneficiaries and Indigenous Businesses This procurement will give priority to beneficiaries of the Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements identified below. Secondary priority will be given to indigenous businesses listed on the Indigenous Business Directory (sac-isc.gc.ca)
