Council Priorities

 

As part of its governance role Common Council establishes priorities for its four year term of office which provide guidance to City Staff in day-to-day operations and future planning. To provide a context for its priorities Council has established the following goals:
-      We are a City that draws people – they want to live here.
-      We are in the top five of places to live in Canada.
-      We have revitalized neighbourhoods that are safe, vibrant and attractive.
-      We have clean, safe drinking water.
-      We have strategic/coordinated planning, development and maintenance of municipal facilities and infrastructure.
-      We have City services that are delivered efficiently and effectively at an equitable tax rate.
-      Our citizens/ratepayers consistently recognize municipal services as being effective at a supportable cost.
The specific priorities that have been established to help move towards achievement of these goals can be found in the following documents:
