The City of London's 2023-2027 Strategic Plan

Thank you for sharing your feedback

Every four years, the City of London prepares a Strategic Plan that identifies the shared vision, mission and priorities that will guide the City's next four years. The Strategic Plan reflects the needs and expectations of the community, and drives decision-making through the Multi-Year Budget and the City's Technology Investment Strategy.

Council’s draft 2023-2027 Strategic Plan includes goals and strategies that will move our city forward. The current draft can be found here. Council will continue their deliberation on the draft at the March 28, 2023, Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee meeting.

Thank you to all Londoners who shared their input and feedback on the draft plan throughout the engagement phases. Your feedback was shared with Council throughout the process to support Council in their deliberations on the draft 2023-2027 Strategic Plan.

Informing the Strategic Plan: Work to Date

Building an evidence informed plan that is truly reflective of community priorities is an essential goal of the strategic planning process. To lay the foundation for Council's work on the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, the City has prepared resources that bring together quantitative data and community perspectives. View the documents that helped inform the work on the Strategic Plan to date in the "Engagement Resources" and "Reports to Committee" section on the right-hand side menu of this site.

How Can Residents Participate in the Process

The team is hoping residents will engage in the development process of the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan by providing feedback and input along the way. Opportunities for input will follow along with Council's strategic planning process; as Council receives information and/or makes decisions, that information will be updated on this site for resident feedback. Broadly, there are three proposed engagement phases where residents can share their feedback on the proposed Strategic Plan:

Phase One: December 14, 2022, to January 4, 2023

• Get Involved site launches, providing reference information and opportunities for input on the vision, mission and values of the current Strategic Plan.
• Information gathered through public engagement in this phase will be presented at the January 11, 2023, meeting to help inform the discussion.

Phase Two: January 4 to February 7, 2023

• Draft areas of focus, outcomes and expected results will be available for comment on January 4, 2023, in alignment with when these materials will be available to Council. Updates will be posted as available following Council’s strategic planning session on January 11, 2023.
• Community engagement gathered throughout this phase will be presented at the February 7, 2023, Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee meeting.

Phase Three: February 8 to March 8, 2023

• The final phase of engagement will continue to seek feedback on the areas of focus, outcomes, expected results, as well as strategies.
• Community input gathered through this phase will be presented to Council at the February 28, 2023, meeting of the Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee meeting.
• A Public Participation Meeting (PPM) will be held on March 8, 2023, where Council will receive public delegations responding to the proposed Strategic Plan – this feedback will inform the final draft 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, which will be reviewed by Council on March 28, 2023.

Residents are encouraged to share their feedback during each of these phases, as well as reach out to their Councilor, attend ward meetings.
