The final status update for the City of Lloydminster’s current strategic plan has been accepted by council.
The 2022-2025 strategic plan was comprised of the expressed desires of elected officials and outlined a series of goals and strategies to work towards.
“It really helps us clarify why we’re doing what we’re doing,” said Deputy Mayor Michael Diachuk. “I think it’s about taking those guiding principles, those four pillars and saying, ‘Are we following them.’”
The plan gives council a clear direction and outlines priorities they set out.
“What it does is it creates a focus for how we move forward and build our arguments around why one is more important than any other,” said Diachuk.
He said it’s important to follow through with the goals set out by council in 2022.
“I’ve always believed you get out of something what you put into it,” said Diachuk. “We all really need to be accountable to make sure that when we were involved in building that strategic plan now, we need to make sure we follow through and capture it.”
Updates for the strategic plan have been presented to council on a yearly basis.
“Todays update will be the final status update for the 2022-2025 strategic plan and administration’s working towards a new document that will provide annual updates to council and the public relating to the 2025-2029 strategic plan that was adopted in June,” said Dion Pollard, city manager.
