Councils in British Columbia are responsible for providing for good government for the community, providing services and laws for community benefit, providing for stewardship of community assets, and fostering the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of the community.

The purpose of this Strategic Plan is to identify how the Village of Pemberton Council intends to undertake these responsibilities during its term. Guided by a vision for the community and a set of values, Council has identified its goals to focus efforts and the use of Village resources over the next four years.
