The Mayor promises a review of the Town's Strategic Plan. Mayor Lunney, in his 2010 address to Council, promised a review of the "strategic" plan. For many Council-watchers, this comes as a surprise, as the strategic plan of the town has rarely been seen, let alone discussed. Is it a formal document? Do residents participate in its development and now in its review? Or is this review a rear-view mirror, back-slapping proposition now that municipal elections are looming?
