Our approach

We use an outcomes approach to focus on what matters most to the community. We translated our vision and purpose into a clear set of outcomes.

We will partner with departments and agencies to focus on four priorities that contribute to achieving those outcomes.

Our initiatives are the specific programs or projects we plan to deliver over 3 years, understanding that our annual work plans must allow flexibility during this time of uncertainty.
