Regional Themes

Across the North Central region, five shared regional themes emerged through the engagement and strategic planning process which served to frame a clear understanding of the key characteristics, opportunities and challenges common across ANCA member communities.
Regional themes are reflections from the collective voices across ANCA’s membership communities, and when viewed cohesively across the region, the stories and experiences of shared opportunities and challenges begin to inform clear goals and outcomes for each theme.

Housing
To satisfy the demand for housing through
the development of a local supply chain and workforce and enhance the provision of services to the most vulnerable populations.

Healthcare
To provide adequate healthcare resources across the region through a committed and sustainable service model.

Infrastructure
To support the maintenance of strong transportation networks, the efficient movement of goods, reduced congestion, and improve road safety.

Economic Development
To extend economic development opportunities across the region by reducing dependency on cyclical industries and realize benefits locally.

Education
To strengthen local access to professional and trades training programs for the retention and betterment of all basic regional service delivery.
