Business Plan

Strathcona County’s annual business plan and budget process determines both the level of services for the upcoming business cycle and the amount of municipal taxes required to provide programs that create a safe, thriving and quality community.

It is a year-round process, and at its base are the County’s Vision and Strategic Plan, citizen input and Council direction.

Our Vision
Strathcona County is a safe, caring and autonomous community that treasures its unique blend of urban and rural lifestyles while balancing the natural environment with economic prosperity. Through strong, effective leadership, the County is a vibrant community of choice.

Strategic Plan
The foundation of what the community has told us is important to them for their future, what they want their community to be as expressed in our vision

Business Plan
An organization’s response as to what we can do to move towards achieving this vision

The Budget
A blueprint of what resources are required to deliver a sustainable quality of life to residents

Citizen input, including findings from the annual Public Satisfaction Survey, provides the County with a holistic perspective to balance with individual or specific issues or needs that get raised. The statistically valid surveys lend insight into citizen expectations for the upcoming year and provide historical trends that factor into long-term planning and decision-making. Overall, findings indicate that residents are satisfied with service levels as they are. Most areas of service showed a five-year high on satisfaction.
