In 2025, the Lanark County Situation Table celebrated its 10th anniversary!

The situation table is part of a community safety project that began in September 2015 with two main objectives: to establish and maintain a situation table and to undertake a community ...plan for safety and well-being for Lanark County and Smiths Falls. Since then, more than 400 referrals have come to the situation table, and local municipalities adopted the second iteration of the Community Plan for Safety and Well-being for Lanark County and Smiths Falls in 2025.

The situation table brings front-line, acute-care, human-service agencies together to provide wrap-around support for individuals who meet a defined threshold of “acutely elevated risk,” meaning someone is at imminent risk of self-harm or harming someone else. In 2025 there were representatives from 27 local agencies actively participating at the situation table. They work in a privacy-protective manner to rapidly connect individuals to appropriate services.

Referrals come from agencies when they have a client they believe meets the risk threshold, exceeds their capacity to respond within their own agency alone, exhibits multiple risk factors and requires a multi-agency response. The Lanark County Situation Table itself does not conduct case management or retain personal information. Rather, the agencies involved at the intervention stage take on that role as appropriate and with consent. In addition, self-referrals are not accepted; referrals are made through one of the participating agencies.

Over the past 10 years, the Lanark County Situation Table has established itself as a valuable component of the local community safety model. This is in large part due to the commitment, engagement, positivity and consistency of the community partners who sit around the table. One of the successes of the situation table is that it is a place where partners can network – they come together to help those who need support and learn about the people and programs of partner agencies at the same time. Communication and relationships are vital components for success.

UPDATE: Wolf Grove Road has been reopened.
