Foundation, Community & Leadership

ReCreate believes that creating a strong foundation, which is built on strategic direction and community engagement, will create the path to reaching goals.


The Strategic Planning lens should be applied to all projects. From program specific development, engagement strategies to multi-year master plans. Strategic Planning is a valuable tool and asset for any organization or municipality. Strategic Planning has often been seen as must for more urban municipalities and large scale organizations. But the truth is strategic planning equals efficiency, accountability and sustainability for all projects.
