We worked with the Township of Southgate to develop a Community Strategic Plan for 2023-2027.

Through extensive research and engagement, our team synthesized findings and developed a comprehensive, actionable, and effective Community Strategic Plan. This Plan will help Southgate navigate through a period of significant transformational change and growth while being tailored to the community’s unique opportunities and challenges. 

Our team recognizes that facilitating inclusive collaboration and engaging with the local community is essential for creating an impactful Community Strategic Plan.

To this end, we:

  • Facilitated two interactive and collaborative Staff and Council workshops,
