During the Chatham-Kent Council Strategic Planning Session 2011-2014, Council met with the active citizens of the Community Strategic Planning Committee to lay out its directions for its four year term. The citizens of the committee advise Council in the areas of Health, Economy, Environment, Culture, and Learning all through the lens of civic engagement. As part of their presentation, the citizens showed the video Chatham-Kent-Our Story:

In June 2010, the Community Strategic Planning Committee, an Advisory Committee of Council, hosted a free celebration breakfast to profile Chatham-Kent’s accomplishments within the context of Council’s Strategic Directions and Goals at the Chatham Cultural Centre, Chatham.
“The citizens of Chatham-Kent have been engaged in long-term community strategic planning since 2001,” said committee 2010 chair Jamie McGrail. “This process is grassroots and based on regular public consultations and the considerations of Chatham-Kent Council, along with the ongoing dedicated support of our committee.”
“The Community Strategic Plan is designed to guide all municipal priorities and projects. Each term, Council sets and maintains Directions, and provides funding,” said committee vice-chair Dave Cullen. “From this comes the work plan by which the municipality works to fill the needs of our community. Our event highlighted the progress of that work plan by looking at our gains in business and industry, recreation and culture, and project management.”
