2023–2026 Strategic Plan
The 2023–2026 Strategic Plan charts a bold and practical course for Midland’s next four years. Rooted in community values, fiscal accountability, and forward-looking growth, it provides clear direction for the Town’s priorities. Adopted by Council in May 2023, the plan sets out five focus areas to guide decisions, investments, and service delivery through 2026.
Waterfront Development
Create a vibrant waterfront that attracts people.
Midland’s identity is deeply rooted in its maritime history on Georgian Bay. As the gateway to the Georgian Bay 30,000 Islands, the world’s largest freshwater archipelago, Midland attracts tourists throughout the year providing many benefits to the community while contributing to the local economy.
Stabilize and Streamline Service Delivery
Seek operational efficiencies, cost savings, and value for services.
Streamlining and improving operational services ensures that resources are utilized effectively, leading to better service delivery and customer satisfaction. Value for services helps us maintain our high standards to meet our residents’ needs and expectations.
Infrastructure Management
Ensure sufficient financial resources to maintain infrastructure.
Infrastructure management based on effective financial planning is vital to ensuring the reliable delivery of essential services, supporting the Town’s economic growth, and enhancing the quality of life for residents.
Enhance Town Safety
Improve citizen comfort levels and reduce safety concerns.
Creating a safe community in Midland is essential for fostering a strong sense of security and well-being among residents. When people feel safe, their overall comfort increases, the quality of life improves, and the community becomes more vibrant, engaged, and resilient.
Workplace Culture
Be an employer of choice.
Making Midland a desirable place to work draws skilled professionals who are committed to public service and community development. As an employer of choice, we enhance our ability to deliver quality services to our residents through an engaged and effective workforce.
