LETHBRIDGE COUNTY, AB – A new Strategic Plan has been approved by Lethbridge County’s council.

The 2022-2032 plan was adopted to act as a guide for the County moving forward.

It outlines the County’s vision statement, as well as four specific goals that Council will strive to accomplish over the next decade.

The vision statement is “Lethbridge County is Canada’s most innovative rural community.”

From that statement, the four goals include:

  • Governance: providing responsible governance, including policies that guide operations to enhance the County.
  • Relationships: building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders strengthens the broader community.
  • Region: the County is “a versatile region where all stakeholders are able to thrive”.
  • Prosperity: Lethbridge County fosters an environment that will encourage investment in innovation and technology.

Reeve Tory Campbell said, “the Strategic Plan gives us purpose and a set of goals that Council has collectively agreed on.”

“This is the vision for the future of Lethbridge County and a guide for how we will get there. Every decision we make at a Council meeting will be driven by this document, ensuring we are acting in the best interests of our citizens and businesses.”
