The purpose of the County of Barrhead's Strategic Plan is to serve as a guide for the present and future actions of Council. The strategic plan represents feedback from residents, the business community, council and staff, and is supported by comprehensive research and planning.
The County's strategic plan strives to incorporate its vision "to foster a strong, healthy, and proud rural community" and mission of "providing good governance and sustainable services to enhance our municipality".
The 2018-2021 Strategic Plan has served as the County of Barrhead's guide until the end of 2021, and has set the focus of Council and Staff for these years. Detailed reviews of our accomplishments during this period are covered in the Strategic Plan Report Card.
