Community Risk Assessment

The Community Risk Assessment (CRA) is the first step in risk management, tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of our community. In compliance with Ontario Regulation 378/18, every municipality and fire department must complete and review a CRA to guide decisions on fire protection services. This assessment evaluates nine key profiles—ranging from geographic and demographic data to critical infrastructure, hazards, and emergency response capabilities—to ensure service levels meet identified risks.
