What is Comprehensive Community Planning (CCP)?

Comprehensive Community Planning (CCP) is an Indigenous-designed way of developing a long-term community plan that is holistic and integrates the work of all the departments and programs in a community-led vision for the future. You might think of it like a bundle that holds and organizes other plans in the community. A CCP helps elevate the voice of the community and the priorities they set to leadership and staff, where CCP Objectives can give important context and guidance to shorter-term plans and strategies. Through working together and deciding what’s important, the community determines what goes into the bundle. 

A CCP reflects the history, values, culture, interconnectedness of community and demonstrates how all people in the community contribute to bringing the community vision to life. CCPs are living plans, they can and should be revised and updated as the community develops and reaches goals.

Our CCP Advisor, Lisa Haessler, was raised in northern Ontario and has over 10 years of experience in community development and strategic planning in our region. She says,

“I love the grassroots, community-driven approach of CCPs and how they set-in-motion future projects and development, based on the community’s goals. Community members know what they need and where they want to go; the CCP is a roadmap to help guide them on that path. I work with CCP Coordinators to help develop plans that are uniquely tailored to the community that is building them.”
