The Township of Lanark Highlands extends a sincere thank you to all residents who participated in our recent Strategic Plan community sessions. Your input is helping to shape the future direction of our Township.
Over August and September, six focus groups were held in Tatlock, Lanark Village, Middleville, McDonald’s Corners, White Lake, and Robertson Lake. In total, 105 people took part. The sessions followed a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) format, and participants were asked:
- What is your vision for the Township?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Township?
- If you could tell Council to focus on three priorities, what would they be?
We’ve prepared a summary of what we heard at each session. Key themes are underlined, along with highlights from the discussions.

Next Steps
Council and staff, with the support of our facilitator, will use this input to draft the 2026–2030 Strategic Plan over the coming months. A draft version will be brought forward for Council’s consideration later this fall, with final adoption anticipated in early 2026. We will continue to keep the community informed as the process moves forward.
Thank you again to everyone who contributed their time, ideas, and perspectives. Together, we are building a strong and sustainable path forward for Lanark Highlands.
