Strategic Plans

Strategic plans are the RM’s roadmaps. They set priorities, guide work planning and budgeting, and help Council and Administration stay focused on the most important needs and opportunities in the Rural Municipality of Reynolds. This page shares the RM’s current Council-level strategic planning report, the Economic Development Office’s strategic plan, and an archived copy of the previous Council plan for reference.

2025–2026 Economic Development Strategic Plan

The Economic Development Strategic Plan is the working roadmap for the RM’s Economic Development Office. It outlines priorities and intended actions, consolidates the RM’s vision for local economic growth, and organizes a prioritized set of projects and initiatives.

This plan is used to guide day-to-day operations and annual work planning, support budgeting and grant applications, clarify project scope and expected benefits, and support performance monitoring and public reporting.
