Committee of the Whole

Integrated Master Plan

The Manager of Strategic Initiatives presented a report introducing the Blueprint for our Future Integrated Master Plan (IMP). It is a living document that will be updated as actions are completed, and as new priorities arise. The detailed plan of action is a roadmap to follow to embrace our new vision to become a unified, engaged and caring community that cultivates opportunities and embraces its rural lifestyle.

The IMP is organized by Strategic Priority Area. Each Strategic Priority Area is broken down into a goal and its objective. View the Integrated Master Plan on our Plans and Studies webpage.
