Mayoral candidate Block touts safety plan, community-building tools

Block is calling for a whole-city approach that would complement work done by the police and fire department.

Saskatoon faces complex crime challenges that require more resources and new strategies, mayoral candidate Cynthia Block says.

At a campaign event on Monday, Block unveiled what she billed as her plan for a safer Saskatoon, touting a whole-city approach that would combine the work of police and the fire department with efforts within local communities.

“Community safety goes beyond policing,” Block said.
