    Capacity Building and Governance

    Providing an equal and equitable level of service across the County is a priority and as a result, the County is committed to undertaking projects that will build capacity and support activity within the community as a whole.

    Vision Statement

    Government decision-making processes are clear, transparent, forward thinking and focused on the longer term. There is clear direction for land use planning, economic development, physical, social and cultural infrastructure, and investment in community capacity. The public (including youth) is interested, informed, and meaningfully involved in local governance. Strong links ensure seamless relationships between community and municipalities, and support partnerships with communities of interest outside the County.
