Clarington Strategic Plan

Have your say: Help shape Clarington’s Strategic Plan

Help Clarington Council develop the Strategic Plan that will guide the Municipality and set out its vision for the current council term. The Plan will provide a roadmap of the key initiatives and actions that Clarington will work toward achieving over the next four years.

Input from Clarington residents is essential if the Strategic Plan is going to reflect the priorities and issues of the community. Weigh in on important municipal matters like roads, parks and trails, economic development, growth and planning, and more.

Take the survey and share your feedback on the Draft Strategic Plan

The Municipality received close to 800 responses to the community survey that ran in February and March 2023. Using that input, as well as feedback from Council and community partners, we have developed a more detailed draft Plan.

This survey will collect feedback on the draft Plan to ensure it reflects the community's aspirations and priorities for Clarington.

At the end of the survey, you will have the option to provide your email address to be entered into a draw to win one of the following three prizes:

• One Apple iPad (10th Generation)
• One-year Clarington Fitness Membership
• One Fire Station Tour that includes a meet and greet with the Fire Chief, as well as some fire safety goodies

The odds of winning a prize are determined by the number of eligible entries.

The survey closes on September 30, 2023.

Your input is essential to ensure we get this right!
