Economic Development Strategy

The City is developing an Economic Development Strategy for 2024-2029 to help us navigate the new challenges and emerging opportunities in our local economy. Economic development refers to programs, policies or activities that seek to improve the economic well-being and quality of life of a community.

To help us build the strategy, we’re asking Whitehorse residents, businesses, and organizations to provide input through a survey about priority economic sectors, challenges, and how the City can support a healthy economy over the next five years.

We will engage with community members, businesses, and other partners through:

• interviews with key stakeholders;
• online surveys for residents, businesses, and other local organizations; and
• in-person workshops for partner groups.

This page will provide regular updates on the project and ways you can get involved.
