2 ACTION PLAN REPORT CARD

In October 2016, Moncton City Council’s Action Plan was published. It outlined Council’s priorities, as they align with five strategic pillars: Environment, Social, Culture, Economy, Governance and Environment.

This progress report serves as a check-in with residents to validate that Council is delivering on the overall objectives of its mandate, with the ongoing collaboration of municipal staff and community stakeholders.

Some highlights include: the continued implementation of the 25-year Climate Change Adaptation Plan, the work completed

with regards to the North End Community Centre, the steps taken to protect our built heritage, the ongoing development of the Downtown Community Improvement Plan (which will support the revitalization goals for this neighbourhood), as well as the enhanced shared responsibilities with our sister communities.

We are proud of the progress achieved to date, as we #MoveMonctonForward in a fiscally responsible manner, in order to cut the red tape, to continue growing our economy, and to engage in further opportunities for cooperation among various levels of government and local agencies.

Moncton City Council

I am pleased to present this first edition of the Report Card. As we focus on transparency within our organization and with our stakeholders, particularly with Monctonians, I firmly believe that publications such as this will serve our community well, as we all work together to achieve some of the critical goals that will solidify our collective vision of our city’s future.

Like most Canadian cities, we are faced with some tough challenges, such as tackling our infrastructure deficit, or establishing a Downtown Tax Revenue Growth

Plan, but it is clear that as the province’s economic driver, with diverse industries and a growing population, not to mention very motivated citizens and entrepreneurs, we have the assets needed to take on these challenges and find creative solutions that will be in the best interests of all.
