Woodstock is part of the Safe Community Club in Canada. The city has been announced as the 62nd designated city to be a "Safe Community". The process began nearly a year ago, when interested stakeholders agreed, Woodstock should try to become a "Safe Community." Toyota provided seed money of 25-thousand dollars and Woodstock's Police and Fire Chiefs took the lead roles as co-chairs of the committee. Rod Freeman believes it will benefit the city in more ways than one. "Chief Tegler and I hope that Woodstock will be able to promote itself provincially and on a wide-spread basis as being a designated safe community, and hopefully that will make it inviting for businesses to locate to our community. And also for good, law-abiding families to come and reside in Woodstock and make this a healthier and happier community." The committee has targeted three problem areas where citizens need to work to prevent injuries and deaths: falls, motor vehicle collisions and during sports and recreation. There will be awareness campaigns around these issues in the months ahead.
