Landscape Ontario has begun the exciting process of creating a new strategic plan. When complete, the plan will form the backbone of the association objectives staff, volunteers, members and stakeholders will carry out over the next five years and beyond.

The process kicked off in LO’s home office in Milton, Ont., in late March with a two-day planning session facilitated by The Greater, a strategic consulting firm that specializes in creating high-impact strategies for socially-conscious organizations.

The working group was made up of a cross section of members representing different sectors and regions, as well as members of Landscape Ontario’s provincial board of directors and staff leadership team. The sessions were a deep dive into what matters to members and the impact we want Landscape Ontario to have on communities and the industry as a whole.

The Greater delivered its initial framework in May, which will be reviewed by the executive team, the Landscape Ontario board of directors, staff, and community stakeholders before being finalized and released in August.
