Adopted by Council, the Government Strategic Plan reflects the aspirations of the WFN community and guides Council in its decision-making toward meeting goals and objectives. It sets out Council's strategic priorities and what Council intends to accomplish during its term in office.
Strategic Plan
Council is committed to creating a healthy, strong and vibrant community through programs and services that promote physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being and healing.
Priority 1: Encouraging a rich and vibrant culture
Priority 2: Supporting all Members through community services (early years, youth, Elders, housing, education and employment)
Priority 3: Intergovernmental relationships and reconciliation
Priority 4: Economic development
Priority 5: Good governance
The strategic priorities guide annual strategic goals, which are more specific and measurable and help Council and administration focus on achieving specific results. Review the full Strategic Plan to learn more.
In 2005, WFN embarked upon the implementation of the most comprehensive First Nation self-government agreement in Canada. This brings with it a huge range of planning challenges, along with the opportunity for WFN to demonstrate incredible innovation and creativity.
In addition to the challenges associated with self-government implementation, WFN is a community experiencing tremendous growth. Like any other rapid-growing community, WFN is faced with demands on infrastructure and services and recognizes the importance of establishing a thorough legislative and regulatory framework. The Plan is used to define WFN’s purpose and to guide future growth.
The plan also helps guide the development of WFN's financial plans and detailed department work plans. It will be regularly reviewed to ensure it reflects the evolving vision of the community and the organization.
