2023-2026 Strategic Business Plan

Breadcrumbs
 

Halton Region’s Strategic Business Plan sets the strategic direction and priorities for Council’s four-year term of office and our region's future. The plan – developed in consultation with residents, businesses and community partners, as well as Indigenous People, Communities and First Nations – reflects the priorities, needs and values of the community.

Developing the 2023-2026 Strategic Business Plan

With every new term, Halton Regional Council and staff develop a Strategic Business Plan that sets priorities and determines actions required to deliver on issues that matter to you. To support the development of the Plan, residents, businesses and community partners as well as Indigenous People, Communities and First Nations were engaged in a public consultation process. Public engagement activities included an online survey, virtual public meetings and a community partner meeting. Input received helped to inform the Plan and ensure it reflects what matters most to the community.

The 2023-2026 Strategic Business Plan identifies four key themes with proposed goals, actions and outcomes for the current term. The Plan will continue to support the delivery of Regional programs, services and infrastructure to residents in Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville, as our community continues to grow, reaching 1.1 million residents by 2051.
