Strategic Planning and Budgeting

Town Council finalized the 2022-2025 Strategic Plan in September 2022 with a vision of “A vibrant, resilient, and connected community that fosters the wellbeing of land and people, a community to call home.” This plan highlights high level priorities that align directly to the 60-year vision that can be found in the Okotoks Municipal Development Plan (MDP).

To move toward this vision, Administration established an overarching four-year Corporate Business Plan, along with individual plans for each Business Centre. These plans are reviewed annually for any required changes to keep Administration on course.

Council approved a four-year budget to support the Corporate Business Plan. Each year any changes that are required to meet Council priorities will be reflected in future years.

Our Governance Business Cycle

In addition to this Annual report, Council and the community are provided with the following to highlight our progress and achievements to date:

› Corporate Progress Report: provides updates on Corporate Business Plan initiatives, measures and service levels. Published twice per year.

› Financial Variance Report: capital and operating results. Published four times per year.

In 2022, work was completed on outcomes for Integrated and Accessible Transportation from the MDP, along with five outcomes from the four-year Council Strategic Plan.

Integrated and Accessible Transportation is a priority of the MDP.
