Breakthrough Experiences in Virtual Community Engagement, CSWB Learning and Systemic Reform across British Columbia
This session is currently scheduled for Mol 9 (Day 2, Tuesday 23 March at 3:00 PM – 3:50 PM EST)
Presentation description
The presentation will combine brief pre-recorded video panel discussions among the key presenters and their invited guests, using screen captures from MS Teams, with additional prepared multi-media resources that will describe the COVID drivers, the local drivers, and the innovation drivers that have led to the development and roll-out of the curriculum suite.
These materials will also provide real-time updates on the experience to date across several and diverse BC communities, spanning dense multicultural urban, rural-remote and First Nations environments.
Following the prepared presentation, the four principals from Global Network will engage in a virtual Q/A session with LEPH2021 delegates. Topics will include the challenges of adaptation to virtual methods, the new opportunities deriving from virtual engagement and multi-mode learning solutions, and the potential and early keys to success for broader application of similar methods in a post-COVID world.

Between 2008-17, he spent much of his professional life in Saskatchewan as a Senior Advisor to the Deputy Ministry of Justice: Corrections and Policing. His 2009 Future of Policing report to that Ministry set the stage for the whole-of-government approach to crime reduction, and he and his advisory team have been widely recognized as co-founders and architects of the high-profile Community Mobilization Prince Albert model. Norm also served for two years as a Lead Advisor to the Ontario Working Group, and through 2014-17 he served often as a Special Advisor to Ontario’s Deputy Minister of Community Safety, assisting with the formulation and initial roll-out of the Strategy for a Safer Ontario, enacted into provincial law in spring 2018.
In 2014, Norm co-founded the Global Network for Community Safety and he and his Global Network partners continue to support jurisdictions across North America in the adoption of multi-sector solutions and social innovation strategies. Norm and his team have been instrumental in transforming public service and supporting the advancement of community safety and well-being (CSWB) concepts across Canada and into the USA.
Since 2002, Norm has served as co-founder and Program Director of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) Executive Global Studies Program where he has led over 200 Canadian police leaders through global research studies in 50 countries.
