Calgary's
Community Strategy for Sustainable Prosperity is innovative
and bold. It offers a new approach to the way Calgary develops, implements
and evaluates its community and economic development activities. It balances
the need for economic prosperity with the strong desire of Calgarians
to maintain their high quality of life.
Calgary's
Community Strategy for Sustainable Prosperity is founded
on eight community values that Calgarians told us they wanted protected
in the future. It fosters leadership and citizen engagement, and expects
a return on community values. "It is a sustainable strategy that will
not only secure Calgary's position as a great city in which to live and
do business, but it will connect us to each other and to the world", states
Mayor Al Duerr, Chairman of Promoting Calgary Inc.
Calgary's
Community Strategy for Sustainable Prosperity outlines three
priority directions:
- Global
Competitiveness Strategy: Connecting Calgary to the world
- Industry
Cluster Development Strategy: Connecting Calgary businesses to each
other
- Citizen
Engagement Strategy: Connecting Calgarians to each other and to their
Community
As the lead organization responsible for planning, implementing and evaluating
the Community Strategy for Sustainable Prosperity, Promoting
Calgary Inc. and its related authorities will be focusing their future
efforts towards achieving the objectives, strategies and outcomes that
have been outlined in the document.
Implementation
of the strategy will require a significant community response and involve
a number of key partners including residents, businesses and government.
"The response we have received to date has been extremely positive. We
look forward to engaging the community in an even more significant way
in the near future", states Georgine Ulmer, President & CEO, Promoting
Calgary Inc.
