RM of Wallace-Woodworth Launches 2025-2030 Community Strategic Plan
Community Engagement Leads to Clear Vision for the Future
Wallace-Woodworth, Manitoba – On May 8, 2025, the RM of Wallace-Woodworth officially launched its 2025-2030 Community Strategic Plan at a public presentation held at the Wellview Golf Course in Virden. The event, led by Council and municipal administration, was attended by local residents and stakeholders who played an integral role in shaping the future of the community.
The 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, developed through extensive community consultation, outlines the municipality’s vision for the next five years. The plan focuses on six key pillars: Good Governance and Communication, Municipal Service Delivery and Infrastructure, Organizational Culture, Fiscal Responsibility, Quality of Life and Recreation, and Economic Development and Growth. These pillars will guide decision-making, budget allocation, and service delivery to ensure a sustainable and thriving community for future generations.
Cheryl Christian of GovFox Municipal Consulting served as the lead consultant in the development of the plan, facilitating multiple rounds of community engagement through interviews, surveys, and focus groups. Her expertise and facilitation helped guide the community-driven process that shaped the strategic priorities.
“We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the residents who participated in the development of this plan,” said Clayton Canart, Reeve of the RM of Wallace-Woodworth. “This strategic plan is a collaborative effort with our community, and it serves as a roadmap for the future, reflecting the values and priorities of our residents. As we move forward with the initiatives outlined in the plan, we invite everyone to stay engaged and continue to be an active part of the process to make this vision a reality for Wallace-Woodworth.”

The launch event was a successful step in achieving the RM’s commitment to transparency, engagement, and forward-thinking governance. The strategic plan will serve as a living document, reviewed periodically to ensure that it remains responsive to the changing needs of the community.
