Strategic Plan

County Council has a Strategic Plan, created in consultation with Administration, stakeholders and the community to guide the County into the future. The foundation of Council’s Strategic plan rests on four Strategic Themes: 

  • Effective Service Delivery
  • Financial Prosperity
  • Thoughtful Growth
  • The Rocky View Lifestyle  

Those themes are the broad areas that guide the County towards achieving the Mission and Vision. Council has further articulated eleven Strategic Objectives and a number of key performance indicators, that provide Administration direction on where it should focus its effort. Values are what motivate our actions. As a County, we have three values that reinforce how we do our work:

  • Integrity,
  • Leadership
  • Accountability.
