The 2023 – 2026 Council Strategic Plan serves as a roadmap for prioritizing actions, policies, programs, and partnerships throughout Council’s term. The clear strategies outlined in this plan have guided Council and Administration over the four-year period, providing direction for business planning and budgeting, and enabling both Council and City staff to monitor progress.
The Strategic Plan continues to guide the completion of key priorities and initiatives. Structurally, the Strategic Plan outlines five (5) strategic priorities, each supported by specific areas of focus, projects and initiatives, and a list of guiding documents.
In addition to the major projects and initiatives identified in the Strategic Plan, Administration developed a corresponding Action Plan that outlines a more comprehensive list of projects and initiatives undertaken over the past few years. The Action Plan has remained a living document, evolving as projects progressed, were completed, and as Council directed Administration to introduce new initiatives aligned with established areas of focus.
Council has received regular updates on the Action Plan, with revised versions posted to the City’s website as they became available. These updates highlight progress achieved to date and help inform ongoing planning and priorities in the years ahead.
