This document establishes a vision for the organization and communicates the values that are the basis for delivering on our mission each day. It outlines a multi-year work plan of major projects and initiatives that deliver on the City's strategic priorities.
The strategic priorities combine Council's eight priorities, as identified in the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan below, plus three corporate priorities.
Starting in 2027, a stand-alone Strategic Plan document will be discontinued and Council's strategic priorities will be integrated into the next Corporate Plan.
The 2023–2026 Strategic Plan guides investment and development priorities for the City over a four-year period. This work is done to improve the quality of life for residents, support economic health and vibrancy, and position the City as an innovative leader in climate action.
The Strategic Plan prioritizes decisive leadership and innovative approaches to transform Victoria into a more affordable, safe and inclusive city by 2026. City Council and staff developed the plan after a series of public discussions in early 2023.
The plan focuses on eight priorities, which include:
By 2026, Victoria will be a dynamic, inclusive, more affordable, safer, intentionally transformed city where people can imagine a future for themselves and seven generations to come. We will be known for decisive leadership and innovation in climate action, housing, transportation and meaningful reconciliation with the Ləkʷəŋən- ̓ speaking Songhees and Esquimalt Nations on whose lands the city exists.
