Involve, involve, involve

Drayton Valley residents were recently involved in the development of the Municipal Sustainability Plan. While the involvement piece may not seem new, engaging people throughout the process can be challenging and new for some.

Can you imagine the setting? Co-residents, city staff, and council sitting together and engaging in dialogue about the goals and aspirations of the community and how those goals are incorporated in the pillars of sustainability. What an opportunity to really hear from one another about what is important to residents and how the community can be shaped.

With such community involvement the goals that were developed will not be forgotten or put on a shelf to collect dust. Residents will be more aware of how the Municipal Sustainability Plan unfolds in the community because they have been an integral part of the process.
