Community Board Plan

A Community Board Plan is a three-year plan that sets out the community board’s vision and priorities for the local community.

Each plan identifies up to nine priorities, which the board will focus on during their term.

The plans guide decisions on local activities, projects and facilities and help the board understand what their communities would like them to advocate for.
