The Board of Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) approved the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan during the regular Board meeting of June 15. The new strategic plan outlines areas of focus, strategic priorities and values that have been determined by the Board.
The new 2023-2026 Strategic Plan includes five Strategic Focus Areas, identifying priorities where the TNRD has direct jurisdiction and where advocacy is required to other levels of government, external agencies, or other stakeholders.
“The Board is aware of the needs and challenges faced in our different communities and regions, around topics such as healthcare, crime and public safety, affordable housing, emergency preparedness, and delivery of core services,” said Board Chair Barbara Roden. “This Strategic Plan identifies where the Board can directly create change, and where the Board will need to advocate effectively for change on behalf of residents.”
Significant updates to TNRD policies and practices and a commitment to accountability and transparency are also reflected in the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. The plan includes a new vision statement for the organization: “The Thompson-Nicola Regional District is diverse, resilient, and committed to transparent and accountable governance to build and maintain strong relationships that contribute to our residents’ livable, sustainable, and healthy environment.”
Similar to the previous Strategic Plan, the TNRD is committed to providing public progress updates to the Board of Directors on the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan, and show how the plan guides projects and initiatives.
“Developing a work plan that reflects the Board’s vision and expectations has been a priority for our staff,” CAO Scott Hildebrand said. “Our staff are a talented and capable group that will be able to deliver strong results behind these important strategic priorities.”
