The Erieau Community Association, in conjunction with the Municipality of Chatham-Kent, will be holding a Strategic Planning Session Saturday, April 30 at the Erieau Community Hall to discuss the future direction of the community.
There will be two three-hour sessions, one at 9 a.m. and the second at 1:30 p.m. to present information gathered last month through a survey on the Let’s Talk Chatham-Kent website.
Erieau Community Association Chair Leo Heuvelmans said the association was pleased with the amount of interest generated by the survey which resulted in more than 400 visits and in excess of 250 comments.
“It’s good to see so many people with an interest in our community,” he said, in a media release.
“We have a good base of information to take to the meeting.”
Those wishing to attend can register at Let’s Talk Chatham-Kent until April 28.
The sessions will be identical so there is no need for those interested to register for each one.
Heuvelmans said the goal of the ECA Strategic Planning Committee is to develop a multiyear strategic plan for Erieau related to projects which are prioritized by the community of Erieau residents and property owners.
The plan will provide direction for fundraising activities and allocation of funds.
“We want to bring ideas to the table, get feedback from those who attend the meetings and begin to discuss if there are common themes, what projects should receive priority and examine costs,” he said, in a media release.
