Strategic Priorities

From 2021 to 2022 Administration and Council worked together to develop the City’s 2022-25 Strategic Priorities. The Strategic Priorities guide operational business planning and are the foundation of the City’s budget planning. Investments are assessed on how they moved forward services, programs and projects in alignment with the City’s Strategic Priorities.

Recognizing our relationship to the land, we grow our community and improve quality of life
An overarching theme connecting the Strategic Priorities reinforces an Indigenous worldview that our relationship with the land is foundational, and our respect and care for this relationship informs and influences our decision-making.
