LaSalle Launches Strategic Plan Survey

Given the continued and expected growth of the Town of LaSalle, administration has been updating the corporation’s Strategic Plan over the past several months. The review and update of LaSalle’s current Strategic Plan, LaSalle 2050, is intended to consider this vision and develop a plan for the next 5 years.

The draft framework was presented at the March 11, 2025 Regular Meeting of Council. This included the draft Strategic Plan and the results to the phone survey that was conducted by Leger in December.

After extensive engagement with community members, Town staff, the Senior Leadership Team, and Council, and through community events, small format discussions, surveys, and workshops, community members are now invited to share their feedback on the draft Strategic Plan through a public survey.

The survey will be open until Friday, April 4, 2025. Feedback from the public ensures that our Strategic Plan reflects the needs of the LaSalle community and will help guide the Town for years to come.

This process is now in the final stages. To date, a series of engagement activities have been held, including:

• Three community pop-up events throughout November, where we spoke to over 200 community members,
• Staff surveys and engagement sessions,
• Focus groups with local businesses and community organizations,
• A telephone poll conducted by Leger with 300 responses from LaSalle residents,
• Interviews with Council and members of the Senior Leadership Team,
• Strategic Planning Workshops with Council and the Senior Management Team,
• Engagement sessions with Staff to validate the contents of the draft Strategic Framework.

To stay informed about the Strategic Plan update,

• Follow us on social media: Facebook, Instagram, X and LinkedIn.
• Visit our web page for updates.
• Join the discussion on PlaceSpeak, a community engagement platform.

In April 2019, LaSalle Council engaged StrategyCorp, a Toronto-based public affairs firm, to lead the process to develop a new Strategic Plan. This plan determined the future direction for LaSalle into the year 2050. Following the completion of the survey, the finalized Strategic Plan will be presented to LaSalle Council at a Regular Meeting in late spring.
