The Township of Zorra 2023-2026 Strategic Plan

Every four years, the Township of Zorra prepares a Strategic Plan that identifies the shared vision, mission and priorities that will guide the Township's next four years. The Strategic Plan reflects the needs and expectations of the community, and drives decision-making through the long-range capital Budgeting process.

The 2023-2026 Strategic Plan builds on the foundations of the existing Strategic Plan, recognizing our current context; while many of the priorities in the current Strategic Plan are still relevant, the world is very different place now that it was in 2019. With a continuous improvement mindset and a focus on data-driven decision-making, the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan will reflect all the services the Township provides and will uphold commitments to equity and inclusion, fiscal stewardship and sustainability. Stay informed on important timelines and key dates of the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan by viewing the Key Dates and Timeline section on the right-hand side menu of this site.

How Can Residents Participate in the Process

Council is hoping residents will engage in the development process of the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan by providing feedback and input along the way. Opportunities for input will follow along with Council's strategic planning process; as Council receives information and/or makes decisions, that information will be updated on this site for resident feedback. Broadly, there are three proposed engagement phases where residents can share their feedback on the proposed Strategic Plan:

Phase One: January 2 to February 28, 2023

  • Provide input at one of the public open houses
  • Provide online feedback by email 
  • Information gathered through public engagement in this phase will be presented at the March 22, 2023 meeting to help inform the discussion.

Phase Two: March 1 to May 31, 2023

  • Draft areas of focus, outcomes and expected results will be available for comment during this time frame
  • Community engagement gathered throughout this phase will be presented at the March 22, 2023 Council meeting.

Phase Three: June 2023

The final phase of engagement will continue to seek feedback on the areas of focus, outcomes, expected results, as well as strategies.
