Consultation has concluded
Join the conversation about the future of Prince Edward County
Do you have ideas about where Prince Edward County needs to go over the next 10 years? The municipality wants to hear from you.
The County is beginning to lay the foundation for a community plan that will chart the direction forward over the next decade.
"A 10-year vision and plan for Prince Edward County - created in collaboration with the community - has never been done. With so many urgent and important conversations happening right now, it is time to build a long-term vision together to guide current and future Councils and staff."
- Steve Ferguson, Mayor of Prince Edward County
In 2021, Council engaged Strategy Corp Inc., and directed staff to work with the consultants to create a wide-reaching consultation plan to understand the broad needs of the community. The community plan will help set priorities for the municipality and will inform the strategic plan for Council.
"People are talking about the future of the County all the time: at the coffee shop, grocery store, or arena, as well as online spaces. We really want to tap into these discussions and start to build a common understanding and vision for where the County should be in 10 years,"
- Marcia Wallace, the chief administrative officer (CAO) for the municipality.
Five Conversations to Lay the Foundation of a 10-year Plan
The conversations will revolve around five broad areas:
Strengthening County government's engagement with the public
Diversifying the County's economy while preserving its historic character
Aligning infrastructure investments and fiscal policy priorities
Harnessing the benefits of tourism to improve residents' quality of life
Responding to the climate emergency and reduce the challenges faced
All households in the County will receive a short survey in the mail before the end of February, 2023. Residents can fill out the survey and mail it back to the County free of charge. The survey is also available to be filled out online (see below).

As we look forward to the next ten years, County government is exploring ways that we can continue to create an inclusive, thriving and welcoming community for residents, community organizations and local business owners.
Your thoughts, ideas and opinions on topics such as government accessibility, public engagement, economic opportunity, infrastructure, housing and community livability, tourism and climate change are a critical and important part of these efforts to shape our future.
We look forward to receiving your feedback!
