Additional Culture Details
A Premier Community by Design
Everything the City does and every action the City takes should be done with this simple yet comprehensive theme in mind, from the design quality of our built environment to the intent of designing our socio-economic programs, to the way in which we govern as a community.
In discussing a Vision that would endure for the lifetime of The Ontario Plan (30 years or more), the City Council recognized that there are four components that serve as the basic building blocks that set the foundation for a unified and prosperous community. These foundational blocks must be expressed and widely accepted throughout the Plan’s lifetime. They are:
A Dynamic Stability that enables our community to confront the continued dynamic growth of the region and technological change with confidence and a sense of opportunity.
A Prosperous Economy that sustains the perception and reality of prosperity across our entire community that positively impacts all the people of Ontario and is broadly – though not uniformly – shared.
Distinctive Development that integrates our varied and diverse focal points, districts, centers, corridors, and neighborhoods to provide a feeling of coherence without sacrificing uniqueness.
Recognized Leadership in local governance that stimulates excellence and serves to unify the people of Ontario in support of best practices in conducting public endeavors.
