The Mayor’s Community Safety Task Force was made up of 18 members, including representatives from all three orders of government, residents, program delivery organizations and members of the business community. Mayor Kate Rogers and Fredericton Police Chief Gary Forward co-chaired the group.
The purpose of the Task Force was to bring together relevant stakeholders to develop recommendations to improve community safety. The group considered areas of action related to justice, policing, mental health, addictions, living rough, and other associated issues.
The Task Force delivered its final report in May 2025 that developed bold recommendations for both immediate action and long-term systemic change to address the city’s most pressing social challenges. To access the full report and detailed recommendations, please visit: Community Safety Task Force
