METRAC's Community Safety Audit Resource Kit

METRAC's Community Safety Audit Resource Kit provides all the necessary tools and information to organize a safety audit in your community. The Kit enables diverse community members to evaluate their feelings of violence and oppression and reflect on their differing safety needs. The Kit asks questions and includes a checklist about physical structures, attitudes, discriminatory practices, and security measures that affect safety. The Community Safety Audit Resource Kit is available in English, Chinese (simplified), French, Punjabi, Spanish, and Tamil.

METRAC offers training sessions for residents of the City of Toronto to talk about the needs of a community group and discuss the social and physical environment and how the audit can help. For further information, visit our Safety Events page.

This is the report of those Safety Audits, published by the TTC in 1989.
