The District’s 2015-2018 Strategic Priorities document responds to these changes by evolving from year to year planning, to a longer term, representing the newly established four year terms for Council. This enables longer term thinking toward strategic priority setting. Reviews will be conducted annually to ensure that changing circumstances can be addressed should that be desired. As well, the financial implications of this strategic decision making can be thoughtfully reviewed in conjunction to our annual financial planning process.
There are a number of overarching objectives that were identified during the strategic planning process. These include:
- Protecting Highlands Rural Values
- Reduction of Green House Gases
- Climate Change Adaptation and Resiliency
- Public Health
- Public Safety
- Environmental Protection
- Customizing and Implementing the Right to a Healthy Environment Resolution
- Improving Internal and External Communications
