Background The Onoway and Lac Ste. Anne County Partnership was initiated in 2016 between the Town of Onoway and Lac Ste. Anne County to take advantage of working together to enhance economic development opportunities in the region. In 2018, the two communities developed a Steering Committee and began the process of building a regional partnership to support business development within the region. The partnership understands that this is a first step, and with direction from the Steering Committee, the partnership foresees adding other municipal partners from within the Lac Ste. Anne region at some point in the future. This Steering Committee is a first step in organizing a regional organization and was intentionally designed as a small, nimble committee to move forward on a larger regional collaboration project. This Steering Committee is a pilot project to investigate the opportunities and challenges of forming a new collaborative entity and will entertain additional partners when the time is right. The Steering Committee understands that this is a living document which will be reviewed and revised throughout the next three years. The Steering Committee understands that disputes may arise throughout this process and will apply its agreed upon values in resolving any disputes. 5 | On Our Way to Endless Opportunity: An Economic Roadmap
