TOWN OF SEXSMITH STRATEGIC PLANNING FOCUS GROUP 2015

RAW DATA REPORT

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Citizen involvement is vital to successful governance. Engagement strategies have been designed to facilitate an open and receptive governance process, where community input is linked to Council decision-making. As part of the process to complete a strategic plan, The Town of Sexsmith consulted with citizens to help determine priority areas of focus for moving forward. Participants in a focus group, held on May 29, 2015, reviewed five areas of focus: cultural, environmental, economic / financial, governance / leadership, and social. Each area of focus reviewed successes / building blocks, challenges / barriers, trends and potential, and ways of moving forward to build on the strengths / building blocks, overcome the challenges / barriers, adapt to the trends, and capitalize on

the potential. Council reviewed the materials on May 30th, 2015, and determined key points and responses.

This report contains the raw data from those sessions and will be additionally utilized by Council in developing evidence-based priorities for the upcoming strategic plan.

This report is available to any and all community members, and will be circulated to those who attended the session.
