We have listened to your feedback and endorsed a four year strategic plan that creates an actionable plan from these priorities. From accountabilityto economic prosperity, the city’s strategic plan encompasses five key themes that will help us determine where to invest our time, energy and resources in a way that will have the greatest impact on the quality of life for those who live, work and play in our city.
Together, we are clearly focused on the future of Kitchener.
