Message from Mayor Hegadorn

 

Mayor Portrait

On behalf of Council, I am pleased to share Loyalist Township’s new 2024-2027 Strategic Plan. The Township’s new Strategic Plan establishes a positive direction for our municipality as we focus on the effective delivery of services and building strong communities that meet the needs of our residents.

Last year, Council, staff and community members came together to discuss and define the priorities and direction that would guide Loyalist Township through this current term of Council. We also looked beyond this term to chart a future that we can build together.
I want to thank all the community members who offered their perspectives during Community Town Hall meetings and through our Strategic Plan survey. Your contributions helped shape this plan and I am extremely grateful for your engagement. Throughout the Strategic Plan, we have placed emphasis on continuing in a spirit of collaboration with community members, partners, and other levels of government to promote a balanced quality of life for residents and businesses in our community.
