Strategic Planning
The Office of the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for Strategic Planning for the City of Oshawa. The City's growth, development, and ongoing consultation with Council, residents and the vibrant business community guide and influence strategic planning.
2020-2023 Oshawa Strategic Plan - Our Plan for Success
The Oshawa Strategic Plan, endorsed by Council in May 2020, serves as the City's highest-level policy document and guides the work of the City, our decisions and the development of our community.
This Plan will guide the work of the City for the remainder of the existing Council term, with a slight overlap into the next term to guide until new priorities are set by the incoming Council.
The plan contains a community vision, corporate mission and five strategic goals.
