These are questions women may no longer have to ask themselves while walking in the Dalhousie Community Centre neighborhood. A safety audit of the blocks surrounding the 755 Somerset St. W. building was carried out this week.
The audit was organized by Women’s Place and Women’s Action Centre Against Violence.
Women’s Place employee Ann Rose says the audit is to help area women determine the level of safety in their neighborhood.
