Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s (TRCA) 2013-2022 Strategic Plan helps to guide our work and communicate how the organization is moving forward on significant priorities.

NEW: Five-Year Update

The updated Strategic Plan retains the strategic directions of the original plan issued in 2013, but is more outcome-oriented. It places greater emphasis on TRCA’s traditional mandated roles and responsibilities and our valuable implementation role for our partners.

It also includes projected strategic accomplishments and key performance measures that permit us to clearly demonstrate success in delivering projects and programs.
