I will be participating with Council members and senior staff in a two-day workshop this week on Strategic Planning. To my knowledge, this is a first for the municipality and Oak Bay Council and is an important step in charting a course for this three-year term.
I am pleased that Council and staff will be working together on identifying some priorities and goals that we can achieve together with our community, many of them stemming from the last municipal election campaign.
There is a saying “Without a plan, you’re liable to end up someplace else.” My thanks goes to the Mayor and staff for supporting Council in this planning exercise. I will keep you posted on our progress and when I can, share with you the priorities that result from our session together. Stay tuned…
