Reminder of Final Council Workshop and Next Steps for Corporate Strategic Plan Project

Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to remind residents that the final Council workshop for the Corporate Strategic Plan project will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. at Town Hall.

The final workshop, led by StrategyCorp, will feature a presentation to review the draft Corporate Strategic Plan framework, followed by Council discussion to collect feedback on the drafted vision, mission, values, pillars and initiatives. Residents can attend in person to stay informed and engaged. For those unable to attend, a recording of the meeting will be posted on the project webpage following the workshop.

As the final version of the draft plan comes togetherthere are several upcoming opportunities for residents to get involved and share feedback before the Corporate Strategic Plan is finalized.

Public Information Sessions:

Following the final Council workshop, the draft plan will be posted for public review on the project webpage. To ensure that the draft plan resonates with and reflects the priorities of the community, the Town has scheduled two public information sessions to gather feedback. The sessions have been scheduled to provide flexibility for residents to attend a session that best fits their schedule. Each session will begin with a formal presentation, which will include an open question-and-answer period, followed by an informal opportunity for residents to share comments with project team members.

  • Session #1: Wednesday, November 12, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Town Hall.
  • Session #2: Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Town Hall.

Both sessions are open to the public and no pre-registration is required. For those unable to attend, the presentation and question-and-answer portions will be recorded and posted on the project webpage following each session.

Community Engagement:

The Town’s project team will be out in the community at events and local businesses to share the draft plan directly with residents. Details will be posted to the Town’s social media accounts and staff look forward to connecting in person.

Share Your Feedback:

If you are unable to attend one of the scheduled Public Information Sessions, the Project Team wants to ensure that your voice is still heard. Members of the public can share their feedback on the draft Corporate Strategic Plan at any time by emailing SI@thebluemountains.ca.

The Project Team looks forward to connecting with members of the community as work continues to refine and finalize the Corporate Strategic Plan for final adoption.

Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!
