At our last Council meeting, we heard the Strategic Initiatives Department’s Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan Implementation Update for 2026. As part of that update, Council received the Kanata North Special Economic District Action Plan.
In 2024, Council directed staff to develop an Action Plan to strengthen the district’s long term growth potential. With support from Bloomberg Associates, a philanthropic consultancy within Bloomberg Philanthropies that advises cities around the world, a plan has been developed that focuses on three primary objectives:
- Strengthening economic performance and talent attraction
- Improving mobility, infrastructure, and quality of place
- Enabling coordinated public and private investment
This is an important step as Canada’s Largest Technology Park continues to grow and thrive.
