Thursday, May 18, 2006 02:50 PM

The strategic planning session for the Regional District of Fraser Fort George produced eleven points for development over the term of the current Board.

In no particular order, they are:

– Relations with First Nations including increasing First Nations involvement in the Regional District and identifying post treaty opportunities

– Economic Diversification; a need to know who is doing what on developing strategies for post mountain pine beetle and working with those groups and organizations so the Regional District has a role.

– Cultural Diversification: developing promoting and celebrating the regions’s heritage

– Transportation Infrastructure ;

– Healthy Communities, healthy economically, socially, physically, environmentally

- Public Safety: including growing the 9-1-1 business

– Corporate Image; how is the Regional District Recognized?

– Service Provision; making sure that no matter what the RDFFG undertakes, that it "does it well"

– Mountain Pine Beetle; examining the short term benefits, and long term challenges presented by the mountain pine beetle.

– Succession Planning: noting there will be a significant demand for trained personell, there needs to be some planning for the future.

– Comprehensive Planning for the Region

The Administration plans to have a more detailed report which will include a plan of action ready for the meeting in June.

Cultural Diversification?

How does an unelected body get itself involved in social engineering?

Healthy communities?

The City had a healthy communities advisory committee some 10 to 15 years ago. It was disbanded because it was too difficult for people to grasp the concept that physical health was only part of the issues the committee involved itself with. Even some of the committee members had a tough time with such a wholistic approach.

Of course now that "buzz word" has just about run its course. "smart growth" is the jargon for it these days. It looks like the RDFFG is about to resurrect it.

I remember when it used to be referred to as competent community planning.
