Welcome to the Tatla Lake and Area Community Vision and Strategic Plan.
We’re happy you’re here!
What’s Happening?
The Tatla Lake Resource Association is supporting residents to create a Community Vision and Strategic Plan.
What is a Community Vision and Strategy?
A community vision and strategy is a plan, made by the people who live in Tatla Lake and Area. The purpose of the plan is to find out what matters to us, identify the challenges we face, collect ideas for how to address these, and what we need to do for a better future.
Why do we need this?
There are a few reasons why this plan will be helpful. A community vision and strategy provides a long-term, recognized vision that reflects our community values. It will help us:
Guide investment of funds received from the Eniyud Community Forest into our community.
Create a roadmap to address the challenges we face.
Act as a tool to advocate for our community in a regional context.
Enhance our community health and connectedness.
Facilitate collaboration with First Nations and other potential partners on new opportunities that we all support.
What Areas are Included?
Tatla Lake and Area encompasses Tatla Lake, Eagle Lake, Tatlayoko Valley, West Branch Valley, Kleena Kleene, Chilanko Forks, Pyper Lake, and Puntzi Lake.
Project Process and Timeline
This work is just beginning. We are in Phase 1 of the work. We have hired a company called EcoPlan International Inc. as external community planners to help us. These planners are neutral in this process and bring valuable experience and ideas from other communities across the province. However, they are not experts on our community— we are! They have been brought in as our staff, team members and to work for all of us. They will help to spread the word, connect us, put together surveys and events, collect and process information, and organize it in a way that best supports our community goals. Community members are encouraged to share their ideas and feedback directly with the planners at upcoming events or through surveys to make sure everyone’s voice can be heard and considered throughout the process.
