2023-2026 Strategic Plan

Strategic planning is one of the most important tools that a municipality can use to develop a common vision, direction and goals for the community.  The 2023-2026 Strategic Plan was developed in collaboration with Council, staff, and our community. 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 over this term of Council. 

Vision

A connected community that focuses on responsible and sustainable growth while preserving our rural heritage and unique features.

Mission

Through innovative partnerships and responsible leadership, the Township of Ramara embraces sustainable growth that enhances our unique and rural landscapes. We are dedicated to providing valuable municipal programs and services that enrich the lives of our current and future generations.

Strategic Priorities

  • Service Excellence
  • Sustainable Infrastructure
  • Community Connection
  • Strategic Growth

Consultation and Community Engagement Process

The Township of Ramara commenced the strategic planning process in June 2023 that built on prior strategic plans and initiatives. As community engagement is an imperative element in the development of the strategic plan, the public consultation process consisted of five in-person input sessions held in each ward. This was held by municipal staff and included members of Council. 

In addition, an online survey was available for the month of June. All consultation participants, at the in-person sessions and online, were asked to respond to the following type of questions:

  • What is your vision for Ramara ?
  • What do you value about Ramara?
  • What are our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats?
  • What are the top priorities for the municipality over the next five years?

All of the comments, suggestions and feedback were collected throughout the consultation process, and Directors participated in a full-day, facilitated strategic planning session that led to the creation of the Draft Strategic Plan document.

The Draft Plan was presented to Council at the August 28, 2023, Committee of the Whole meeting, and further public consultation occurred.

The Final Strategic Plan incorporates all suggestions and feedback heard from the community and members of council.
