KDSB Strategic Plan

The Kenora District Services Board may have a new look according to recommendations contained in a 5-year strategic plan.

The strategy calls for a re-branding and improved public relations.

Prairie Edge Management drafted the plan following consultations with KDSB staff and Municipal representatives.

Warren Thompson says the Board has to do a better job getting its name out in area communities.

The KDSB has adopted the Strategic Plan and will now focus on implementing the recommendations.

Setting up emergency shelters in communities across the District is another suggestion in the plan.

Thompson says these shelters would help with an on-going homeless issue in our Region.

He stresses the Provincial Government would have to jump on board with funding.
