• More information on the Strategic Plan for the 2022-2026 Term of Council

  Staff report CAO-003-23 was brought to Council on June 28, 2023 and provided background information on the development of the plan. Council approved the Strategic Plan for the 2022-2026 Term of Council, as recommended in the report.

  Council and Senior Leadership participated in a strategy session on March 27, 2023 at the Township of Tiny Community Centre. Public Notice of a Special Meeting of Council for the purposes of developing a strategic plan was given in early March, for any residents who wished to attend and observe the process. All members of Council and the Senior Leadership Team participated in the strategic planning session.

  This session was facilitated by Erik Lockhart, of Lockhart Facilitation and the Queen’s Executive Decision Centre, utilizing an electronic meeting system (EMS) which combines expert facilitation with a state-of-the-art group decision support system to enable groups to rapidly accelerate idea generation and consensus building. The tool supports, but does not replace, verbal interaction; typically 25% of interaction takes place on the computers.

  The session began with a review of the existing strategic plan document, it’s mission and vision statements, and corporate values. The previous Strategic Plan was circulated to all participants ahead of the meeting for review, and to identify any areas they wished to discuss further at this session. At the beginning of the session the consensus was that the Corporate Values would remain the same, subject to minor grammatical updates.
