Strategic planning update

The Strategic Planning Committee held two very productive discussions in October with our MLAs, former candidates, and leaders of our riding associations. We discussed the key issues we need to tackle and identified key initiatives to work through - which the Provincial Council has now approved.

It’s time to put this information into action!

The Strategic Planning Committee is currently working on operationalizing the strategic review to enable all committees, caucus, and key figures to successfully take action on the initiatives.
