During the municipal Council meeting held on Monday May 12th, Council officially adopted the Town of Hawkesbury's 2025-2030 Strategic Plan. This plan enabled the active participation of the public through consultations held in August and September 2024. The data collected during these sessions revealed several key findings that supported the evidence-based development of the strategic plan.
“The plan took shape through a collective journey, made possible thanks to the active support and participation of the community. The scale of collaboration speaks for itself, and we are proud to present a strategic plan that is, above all, yours — shaped by your ideas, guided by your voice, and grounded in your priorities. We’re excited to finally share it with you all.” - Robert Lefebvre, Mayor of the Town of Hawkesbury.
Background
This new strategic plan stems from a need to align with current trends, needs, and realities. It replaces the previous plan written in 2013 and aims to better reflect the Town’s contemporary economic, social, and community challenges.
This plan is a foundational tool to guide decisions, prioritize actions, and direct the municipality’s resources to advance Hawkesbury in a coherent and sustainable way.
Guiding Statements of the Plan
The new strategic plan outlines clear principles, including the Town’s mission, vision, and values.

Hub for growth in Eastern Ontario, Hawkesbury is a great place to live, visit, work and do business. - Values

In line with these guiding statements, the Town is now steered by the 3 core strategies of the plan which will inform all municipal decisions. The strategic plan thus becomes an essential tool for the municipal administration in achieving the Town’s collective goals.
