The IDEA Multi-Year Plan outlines the actions we will take over the next five years to be a more inclusive Oakville. The plan includes four goals that support the town’s objective to be an inclusive workplace and community where everyone feels they belong:

• Goal 1: Foundational – drive the objective. Be accountable for incorporating IDEA in all areas of the organization.
• Goal 2: Internal – attract and retain people. Cultivate a work environment that is diverse, inclusive, safe and one where staff feel respected and valued.
• Goal 3: Community – listen to, engage and serve the community. Reflect our inclusive culture throughout the range of services we provide to our community.
• Goal 4: Sustainability – communicate, track and measure. Align and connect our IDEA

Annual progress reports are delivered to Council on the implementation of the plan.
