Economic Development & Tourism Strategy
In order to align with the County Vision and Strategic Plan and based on the department 4E review conducted in 2009 an Economic Development and Tourism Strategy has been developed for the department to provide focus and department direction. The strategy was developed through profiling of the community and the businesses with the County and through extensive public consultation processes. The development of the strategy also considered the provincial, national and global economies and is guided by the County's Sustainability Frameworks and especially the Economic Sustainability Framework.
