3. A sustainable city: advancing climate action, active transportation and the Vision Zero Plan;
4. A model to prevent homelessness, prioritize new housing, and support the unhoused community; and
5. Modern City infrastructure.
On April 22, 2025, Council approved the Council Strategic Framework and July 2025-June 2027 Council Strategic Priorities and received the associated Workplan.

Resources allocated to implementing some Workplan items were included in the FY 2025/26 budget process, with budget adoption on June 17, 2025.
