Message from the Mayor
On behalf of all members of Bruderheim Council and Town Staff, I am
proud to present Bruderheim’s 2018-2021 Strategic Plan. Together with
the public, we have developed this road map as a path to our bright
future. The next four years will be driven by four key priority areas—our
budgets and the day-to-day operations of our staff will commit to
ensuring a healthy local economy, sustainable critical infrastructure, the
positive spirit of our community, and good governance. We extend a
warm thank you to the residents that took the time to provide input into
this document that will guide our direction and decisions for the years to
come. We now move forward with enthusiasm and optimism.
Sincerely,
Mayor Karl Hauch

Community Engagement
The public voice
An essential component of any municipal strategic plan is public
engagement. A community survey was undertaken to gather insight from
Bruderheim residents—we wanted to know what residents value most
about the Town, and what improvements they believed could be made.
Public engagement followed the SWOT approach—to uncover what the
public believed to be the Town’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats.
The information collected was used to support the development of the
key priorities and objectives outlined in this plan. Many residents used the
survey as an opportunity to share ideas that could make Bruderheim a
better place to live, work and play. Town Council and Staff are committed
to enhancing service delivery, fulfilling the needs of residents and
improving in areas that require attention.
