The County of Wetaskiwin continues to be committed to the Strategic Management System which allows the organization to identify changing conditions and establish improved practices for making appropriate decisions and responses.

The process begins with the preparation of Vision, Mission and Values statements, a process that challenges the team members to carefully consider some fundamental questions about why the organization exists and what its future aspirations should look like. The Vision and Mission statements provide a clear indication as to where the organization is and where it is going. The Values statements contribute to the culture of the organization. The Vision, Mission and Values statements are reviewed annually, and updated if required. The County of Wetaskiwin statements are as follows:
