Langley City Council and staff were working through a 5-year strategic plan that sets out the City’s important initiatives. This plan wraps up at the end of the year. Council and staff would have started developing a new 5-year strategic plan this year, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s surrounding uncertainty, Council decided to create a 2-year strategic plan that will get us through the COVID-19 pandemic, support economic recovery, and start to address the climate emergency.
Several of the immediate actions of the new 2-year plan are to close out the initiatives from the 2017-21 strategic plan, Council motions, and other Council priorities.
Other immediate actions include:
- Continuing to fund arts, culture and recreation initiatives, as developed in conjunction with the Arts and Culture Task Force
- Completing a review of event waste management to improve waste diversion
- Pursuing grant funding, including COVID-19 recovery funding, with a focus on priority infrastructure renewal projects
The more significant “Game Changer” strategic initiatives include:
- Developing and implementing a sustainability framework that intersects between social, environmental and fiscal programs and initiatives
- Confirming funding and timeline for a performing arts centre and the Fraser Highway/Douglas Crescent Rehabilitation project
- Exploring creative opportunities for a Community Police Office liaison, block watch and other activities that help everyone feel safe and supported
- Including budget provision to complete a streetscape waste audit in 2022 and an Urban Forest Management Strategy 2023
