What is the Strategic Plan and why is it important?

    The Final Strategic Plan will be the roadmap Council will use for the term (2024-2027). It will guide Council in setting priorities and goals they wish to accomplish over the next four years. Some goals will extend beyond this term and will also contribute to the success of future Councils.

    Council is committed to community; to ensuring all residents at all stages of life feel a sense of belonging and are encouraged to grow together. This will enable a dynamic Municipality that provides opportunities to recreate, experience culture, grow a business and gather as a community.

    Who is involved in the creation of this plan?

    The plan will be developed over a series of strategic planning meetings attended by Council, Management and the public.  The meetings will be facilitated by Capital Park Consulting.  The Consultant will gather the information to present to Council for consideration and input.

    Are residents and business owners able to provide feedback?

    Residents and local businesses are invited to provide feedback through this online survey that will close October 6, 2023, Focus Groups and Town Hall meetings. This feedback will be used by the Consultant to draft the Strategic plan and will be reviewed at a Council meeting in late October.  

    Will the plan ever change?

    While this plan is intended to be a roadmap for realizing Council’s shared vision for the community, it is important to remember new challenges, opportunities and issues will emerge during this timeframe. Therefore, the strategic plan will be reviewed periodically, with an extensive review and update every four years.
