Strategic Plan

We are pleased to share that our new Scugog Corporate Strategic Plan has been finalized for the 2023 - 2026 Term of Council. The Corporate Strategic plan is an important document that guides Council and staff on the allocation of resources for projects and initiatives over the term of Council with a few over longer periods of time. 

Throughout the process of developing the Corporate Strategic Plan a key aspect for Council and the staff team leading this project has been to engage the community on each step of the plan. Thank you to the community, stakeholders, staff and everyone that shared input as the Strategic Plan was developed. 

Reports on the progress of the Strategic Plan will be developed annually to provide updates on the status of the goals and objectives in the plan.
