The Township of Ramara commenced the strategic planning process in June 2023 that built on prior strategic plans and initiatives. As community engagement is an imperative element in the development of the strategic plan, the public consultation process consisted of five in-person input sessions held in each ward. This was held by municipal staff and included members of Council. 

In addition, an online survey was available for the month of June. All consultation participants, at the in-person sessions and online, were asked to respond to the following type of questions:

• What is your vision for Ramara ?
• What do you value about Ramara?
• What are our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats?
• What are the top priorities for the municipality over the next five years?

All of the comments, suggestions and feedback were collected throughout the consultation process, and Directors participated in a full-day, facilitated strategic planning session that led to the creation of the Draft Strategic Plan document.

The Draft Plan was presented to Council at the August 28, 2023, Committee of the Whole meeting, and further public consultation occurred.

The Final Strategic Plan incorporates all suggestions and feedback heard from the community and members of council.

At the February 26, 2024, Council meeting, Council approved the 2023-2026 Workplan.
