The Strathcona Regional District has approved its four-year strategic plan, which will guide the organization's efforts in the coming years.

The District says the plan is built upon three key strategic themes, Community Well-Being, Climate Resiliency, and Good Governance, and reflects a commitment to serving communities effectively and responsibly.
Under the theme of Community Well-Being, the SRD says it is committed to collaborating with community partners to bolster affordability and housing initiatives.

Additionally, the board will identify and consider transportation strategies that facilitate safe movement throughout the region. Health and well-being improvement initiatives in the area will also be explored.

Addressing Climate Resiliency, the board says it is dedicated to proactively preparing communities to effectively navigate emergency events and mitigate the impacts of climate change. This includes looking at local and subregional initiatives while prioritizing the reduction of the organization's carbon footprint in service provision.

In terms of good governance, the board says it will prioritize proactive communication and engagement with communities.
