HOW TO USE THE

COMMUNITY PLAN GOAL PAGES

TIMELINE

The Community Plan is a visionary and ambitious document. The 34 goals are broad and not specifically achievable, so a
timeline of specific objectives to reach goals is provided which emerged from engagement with community and organizations.
This Community Plan does not include the ongoing, operational and maintenance actions that make the community run, or
regular expansion that would be expected to accommodate growth. These actions are absolutely crucial to the functioning of
the community, but it is not the place of a Community Plan to describe the ongoing operations of organizations – this expertise
is within those organizations. Instead, the Community Plan lays an ambitious path of change toward the future based on
objectives to address larger gaps and systemic themes. Objectives were organized into timeframes using the following criteria:
Objectives in the Short Term (1-5yrs)
• Modifications to existing projects, programs or facilities that are incremental;
• Standards that must be developed to lay out expectations for future objectives;
• New or updated studies; or,
• Have a predetermined timeline that puts them in this time range

Objectives in the Medium Term (6-10 yrs)
• Substantial new projects, programs or facilities that have momentum (i.e., funding allocated, land, designs,
and/or exist in their infancy);
• Legislative changes outside the community’s immediate influence; or,
• Have a predetermined timeline that puts them in this time range

Objectives in the Long Term (11-20 yrs)
• Substantial new projects, programs or facilities that need to be created from scratch in 2019;
• Are based on community member behavioural change; or,
• Have a predetermined timeline that puts them in this time range
The time frames provided are not limiting or prescriptive—an objective highlighted in the long term today could occur next year
if circumstances align. However, this approach is meant to encourage strategic and realistic development (see Assessing Decision
Impacts on page 11 to see how the Timeline can be used as a strategic planning tool).

Additionally, each objective is assigned a progress marker to indicate the state of that action at the time of the 2019 update,
as follows:

This objective is being addressed by organizations in the community and
measurable progress is being made towards it.

Preliminary work has been done (e.g. plans, drawings, feasibility studies),
specific barriers may exist to progressing forward, typically a need for resources.

This objective has been identified as a need or solution but no specific progress
has been made.
