About SCAA

An inter-sectoral collaboration built on shared commitment to Saskatoon's safety and well-being.

Our Dual Role

SCAA's Mandate

The Safe Community Action Alliance operates with two complementary mandates — immediate response and long-term transformation.

01

Immediate Term Response

To deal with immediate term and emerging issues that impact community safety in a more integrated manner. This enables immediate actions and responses that are more cohesive, coordinated, and effective when an inter-sectoral approach is applied.

02

Long Term Systemic Change

To deal with long-term and systemic issues that require innovative approaches not currently in place. This provides the forum where leadership from community, government, and business can convene to develop transformative strategies.

Built on Proven Initiatives

Safe Streets Commission

Saskatoon Action Accord

The SCAA builds directly on the work and relationships established through the Saskatoon Action Accord, Saskatoon's Regional Inter-sectoral Committee.

Strategic Direction

The SCAA operates within Saskatoon City Council's strategic plan, which includes specific direction for moving towards safety and wellbeing for all.
