Achievements

Staffed by volunteers, it is a source of information and programs for the community, as well as a base for officers to use during the course of their duties.

Holland Landing Community Centre: a safety audit was prepared for the Holland Landing Community Centre grounds. Subsequent modifications were made to the area with the co-operation of the Mayor and Council

Road Watch Program This is a community initiative that gives residents and visitors an opportunity to help keep our roads in East Gwillimbury safe by reporting aggressive driving. Letters will be mailed to the vehicles owners, calling attention to their driving errors. The goal is to make our local roads safe for everyone, your children, your neighbour, even yourself.

Show Kids You Care: The Town of East Gwillimbury is a proud partner with Show Kids You Care. A large number of community groups, foundations and organizations have committed to Show Kids You Care by providing children with opportunities such as literacy, physical activity and safety programs. Their symbol sends the message that we have your child’s best interests at heart.
