Year in Review: Nipawin lays down groundwork in 2018
With 2019 and beyond being planned for, 2018 was what Mayor Rennie Harper called a building year.
One of the goals the Town of Nipawin set was to develop a new strategic plan, which would foresee where it would end up in five years up until 2023.
“I might say that 2019 from our perspective is the year of potential,” Harper told northeastNOW. “What we’ve been doing in the last year has been setting a good foundation. We’re trying really hard to remain focused on our long-term goals, so we’ve put in some ground work.”
Long-term goals for Mayor Harper and Nipawin council is for the town to be people oriented, where citizens can feel welcome, active, creative, and have an opportunity for economic development and employment. The town intends to achieve this by forming new partnerships and rebuilding previous partnerships that have fallen by the wayside.
