NEWS RELEASE - Distributed June 20, 2019 12:30 PM

Summary

Nanaimo City Council has adopted their Strategic Plan, which will drive the City forward through 2022. Work on the plan began in early 2019 by identifying a vision and four strategic themes Council have chosen to focus on during their term. The process of reviewing the plan involved a number of workshops and feedback from the public.

Under each of the four themes - Environmental Responsibility, Governance Excellence, Livability and Economic Health - Council has set out a priority, or goal, and key areas to focus on. Finally, the plan includes actions to be taken to accomplish each priority identified under the four themes along with a timeline for each action. Among the actions, some highlights include a Climate Resiliency Study, undertaking a review and update of Council policies and bylaws, developing an Economic Development strategy, implementing the Affordable Housing Strategy and developing the 1 Port Drive property.
