Homelessness increased in 2025. It’s also increasing rapidly in most rural communities.

In fact, in 2025, known homelessness in mostly rural communities increased by 31% from 2024.

In addition, municipalities are increasingly absorbing the cost of managing higher and more persistent levels of homelessness through local service delivery.

Don’t just vote—ask. What will your candidates do if elected?

Sometimes violence looks like controlling money, constant jealousy, monitoring your phone, blaming others for anger, or isolating a partner from friends and family.

If you’re noticing these behaviours in yourself or someone you care about, support is available before things escalate. Reaching out is a sign of strength—and help is confidential.

Drive Sober. Arrive Alive. Driving impaired by alcohol or drugs puts everyone at risk.
In 2025, 193 impaired driving charges were laid in Huron County.
Alcohol or drug-related collisions totaled 29 in 2025, including 3 personal injury collisions.
In Ontario, impaired driving can result in a minimum $1,000 fine, a 1-year licence suspension, possible vehicle impoundment, and a criminal record.

Plan ahead. Choose a sober ride home.

Safe Huron starts with you.

‘Hard Truths’ about homelessness in Ontario:

Homelessness is rising faster than housing and homelessness serving systems can respond to, even as municipalities increase funding and expand services.

Homelessness is one of the clearest and most costly signals of system misalignment.

Municipalities need more support from the provincial and federal governments.

Don’t just vote—ask. What will your candidates do if elected?
