We greatly appreciate the input of all 945 community members who shared their vision for our city during March to July 2024. Your feedback and ideas contributed to the development of the Draft Strategic Community Plan 2025-2035. This plan will guide the City's projects and services over the next ten years.

We are now seeking our community's feedback on the drafted plan to ensure we heard everything you said and haven't overlooked anything important to you.
