Plan Components

This section provides community members with information on the contents and framework of Your Bright Future. This is a broad-based community plan that sets out a vision for growth and change in Spruce Grove.

While the plan's extent is 2020, the community vision looks to what type of community Spruce Grove could become in 2040. The difference in timeframes allows for a long-range vision while recognizing the constraints to planning in continuously changing conditions.

Your Bright Future is based in community sustainability. The concepts of balance and adaptability are woven throughout the plan. 

Six themes, each guided by overarching goals, form the basis of the community plan:

 

	Governance		Economic Development
	Environmental Management		Community Life
	Form and Infrastructure		Regional Partnerships

Your Bright Future - Municipal Development Plan (Adopted July 12, 2010)

The development of Your Bright Future is part of a four stage process: 

1. SpruceGroveQuest – Our Bright Future

SpruceGroveQuest was major community visioning and values exercise conducted in spring 2008. Community members came together to make decisions about what they want for Spruce Grove in 2040.

2. Sustainable Spruce Grove

Sustainable Spruce Grove is an integrated municipal sustainability plan that acts as a bridge between the Spruce Grove Quest consultations and the community plan, as well as a draft framework for Your Bright Future.

3. Your Bright Future

The long range community plan (also known as a municipal development plan) guides how the city grows, develops, and works towards reaching the community vision. The former municipal development plan, C-327-98 is rescinded.  

4. Implementing Your Bright Future (current stage)

Implementing the plan includes both City-led initiatives and partner-led initiatives and requires the involvement of all City departments.
