Strategic Plan

Strategic planning is one of the most important tools that a municipality can use to bring together residents, members of Council and municipal staff in the development of a common vision, direction, and goals for a community.

It can also function as an accounting mechanism, allowing management and the public to evaluate progress and ensure that the municipality is moving in the right direction.

The 2019 to 2022 Strategic Plan was adopted by Council on November 27, 2019.

Vision: Tay Township is a strong, cohesive rural community. We celebrate and promote our unique history, natural heritage, and recreational amenities as the cornerstone to our quality of life. Our unique villages and towns support a host of events, services and businesses that contribute to growing the local economy and create a unique destination experience for residents and visitors to the community.

Mission: Tay Township is committed to delivering responsive and cost effective municipal services and infrastructure that provide for the long-term economic, social and environmental well-being of our residents and community.

Action Plan: The development and implementation of a corporate strategic plan creates significant benefits for Tay Township. It identifies key steps that build on the input and insight received during the extensive background review and the community engagement process. The plan helps to improve coordination between departments and staff involved in the implementation effort.

In addition, the plan contributes to consensus building across the community. Through a commitment to achieve the outlined goals, Tay will make visible progress in a number of areas that impact the long-term sustainability of the Township.
