For Immediate Release: February 17, 2023
The Township of West Lincoln is undertaking a review and update of its 2019-2029 Corporate Strategic Plan. The public is invited to complete a Strategic Plan Survey, open February 17, 2023, to March 20, 2023, to provide valuable input and help steer the future direction of our community.
A strategic plan outlines the overall long-term vision for the Township's future. West Lincoln is set to see incredible growth in the coming years. Having a concrete and up-to-date strategic plan helps the Township to anticipate the community's needs and set and track realistic objectives and goals with which to address them.
The plan serves as a framework to guide Council and Staff in the decision-making process and to direct our resources where they are needed. In short, a strategic plan provides a lens under which the Township will focus its operations, investments and planning for the future.
Successful strategic planning requires collaboration with internal and external stakeholders from all sectors plus meaningful engagement with the public. Get involved by visiting www.surveymonkey.com/r/WLStratPlan to complete the short online survey.
Beginning next week, hard copies of the survey will also be available for pick-up at the Township Administration Building, the West Lincoln Community Centre, and all three branches of the West Lincoln Public Library. Completed surveys must be dropped off at the Township Administration Building no later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, March 20.
Remember, if we can control it, we can change it! When goals/priorities line up with the frame of service within which a Municipality operates, there is a greater chance for success. To read the current Corporate Strategic Plan in full, visit the Township website.
