2023-2027 Council Strategic Plan

This is the City of Langford’s first strategic plan. Developed over the past months, the strategic plan articulates Council’s vision and values, and sets bold objectives that will guide the City in addressing the urgent challenges related to continued growth in population, public health, housing unaffordability, increasing infrastructure costs, social inequity and climate change.

The strategic plan is centred around six strategic priority areas, and individual objectives in each of those areas. For each objective, the plan sets out an estimated timeline and whether the planned work is currently funded or will be funded in future budgets.

The strategic plan also recognizes the City’s important role as an advocate for those critical services beyond a typical local government mandate, including health care, transportation, housing, and education, and commits to proactively supporting partners doing this critical work for the community.

In developing the strategic plan, it was clear that Langford, like so many communities across Canada, is facing a diverse and complex set of crises so immense that they require the entire community to define a shared set of goals and to continually come together to address these crises. With this in mind, Council welcomes input from the public on the draft strategic plan to ensure that the diverse needs of all citizens are met.

Below you will find a survey to provide input on the Draft 2023-2027 Strategic Plan. You are also invited to attend a Public Open House at Eagle Ridge Community Centre on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, from 3-8 pm. If you prefer, feel free to email the City of Langford with your input at hello@langford.ca.
