Responding to community needs, the CRD Board of Directors identifies priorities and sets the strategic course for the CRD over a four-year period, including an annual check-in and review of Board Priorities. The CRD then creates a Corporate Plan, proposing actions to deliver on the CRD Board’s Priorities, approved plans and ongoing service commitments.
Through annual service and financial planning, the CRD recommends the most sustainable and affordable ways to implement these actions. To ensure the CRD is accountable and appropriately resourced, the CRD Board reviews and approves these plans, determines funding and timing and measures progress through quarterly reports.

The Board also asked the CRD to:
- Identify options to accelerate actions on Climate Action
- Review the Land Acquisition Fund rate
- Explore the options to further contribute to the region’s economic development
