Central Saanich Council has adopted the following strategic plan for 2021 and 2022. The plan was informed by community feedback, including the recent Citizen Satisfaction Survey as well as the many recent public engagement opportunities, which have allowed Council and staff to hear about the topics most pressing on residents' minds.
Some of the Action Items are subject to funding and have been referred to the 2021 budget meetings that take place in March.
