The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has developed a Strategic Planning Resource Manual. The manual has been written for those responsible for leading the development of a strategic plan, and provides a step-by-step guide to assist with each stage of the process.

A strategic plan is a written document that guides a group’s decision making process toward achieving desired goals that align with their mission and vision statements. It also helps in allocating resources (volunteer, staff, monetary, infrastructure, etc.) and prioritizing actions.

Strategic planning and the subsequent implementation will help in the establishment of a vision, mission and goals. Get your free copy by completing the form at: http://ontario.ca/b9p7.
