2026-2030 Strategic Plan

Project overview:

• the 2021-2025 Strategic Priorities Plan is in its last year and staff and Regional Council are developing the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan
• we are now seeking input from residents on the most recent draft content for the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan
• the plan will be fixed-term to the four-year term of Regional Council and aims to advance goals and actions that address the municipality’s most pressing issues
• to date, the project’s research phase has been completed, along with workshops with administration’s senior leadership and Councillors
• in the “documents” section of this page, you will find the draft content for the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan, along with supporting information

Purpose of engagement:

• the intent of this survey is to determine if residents agree that the draft plan content:
  1. reflects the most pressing issues facing the municipality;
  2. prioritizes what is most important for Regional Council and the organization to focus on over the next four years; and
  3. is inclusive of the entire region.
• results of this engagement will support Regional Council in deciding its priorities and goals for 2026 to 2030

What can be influenced at this time:

• residents can provide input on the strategic lenses, priorities and on the goals included within each priority
• the Strategic Plan Framework will not change as a result of this engagement
• residents are welcome to provide feedback on how the framework and plan work together

Next steps:

• after the survey closes, the feedback will be reviewed for consideration in the next draft
• Councillors will then have the opportunity to review the next draft in May before staff finalize the plan for Regional Council approval in summer 2025
