Rocky View County approves new five year strategic plan

The Rocky View County Council has unveiled an updated five-year plan aimed at creating a distinct future direction for the town. 

Four key areas are the focus of the recently approved Strategic Plan for 2023–2027 by the Council:  

• Effective Service Delivery,
• Financial Prosperity  
• Thoughtful Growth
• Rocky View Lifestyle

These priority areas recognize the value of maintaining the County's rural heritage while meeting the needs of its residents and setting the County up for future expansion.  

RVC Council continuously tested themselves during the planning phase to make sure the Strategic Plan was both realistic and ambitious. Their objective was to create a plan that was timely, responsible, and transparent to the public, while also incorporating the knowledge of previous councils and the current council's vision. 

“We identified the need to modify our existing themes to better reflect our strategic intent,” said Rocky View County Reeve, Crystal Kissel. “Recognizing the diversity in Rocky View County, we wanted to include the unique lifestyles, while emphasizing the opportunities it presents. We also wanted to have the ability to measure and monitor the progress of our strategy, which is reflected in a set of key performance indicators that will be shared in a new County Accountability Report.” 

In addition, this plan offers a structure for improving coordination between Council and County administration, resulting in increased operational effectiveness and improved citizen service.  

“We understand the depth of responsibility that comes with ensuring the financial prosperity of our county, advocating for thoughtful growth, ensuring effective service delivery, while preserving the unparalleled Rocky View lifestyle,” Kissel said. “At its core, this strategy is a commitment to our community.” 

During Council meetings, updates on the new Strategic Plan's progress will be provided to the public via a County Accountability Report.
