What are Safety Tables?

The Citywide Safety Tables (CWSTs) are a Toronto-wide initiative that helps connect people who care about safety in their communities. The goal is simple — to bring together residents, local organizations, businesses, and faith groups to share ideas, learn from each other, and take action to make neighbourhoods safer for everyone. 

 Together, they: 

  • Share local safety information 

  • Build community leadership 

  • Access training and workshops 

  • Organize community safety walks or mapping activities 

  • Connect with resources that help improve safety 

There are three regions across Toronto — West, Central, and East — each led by a community organization called an anchor agency. 

In the West Region, The Learning Enrichment Foundation (LEF) supports the work in Black Creek, York Weston Pelham, Etobicoke North, and Etobicoke South. 

Everyone has a role to play in community safety.

Join the conversation, share your voice, and help shape a safer Toronto for all. 

Why They Matter

  • Localized Plans

    Strategies tailored to each neighbourhood.

  • Information Sharing

    Information can be readily shared around the neighbourhood.

  • Collaboration

    Residents and organizations working together.

  • Capacity Building

    Training and resources for community groups.

Who can join?

Anyone from the West End of Toronto can! Residents, grassroots groups, business owners, and community agencies.
