From our inception in 1986, LaCloche Manitoulin Business Assistance Corporation (LAMBAC) has developed a leadership role in the support of business and community economic development in the LaCloche Foothills and Manitoulin Island area. Our dedicated staff works closely with our volunteer Board of Directors and our many clients to find solutions that will provide sustainable development opportunities in our region.
Today, LAMBAC seeks to understand the needs of our communities and to pursue development opportunities that will strengthen the overall economic wellness of our service area and beyond.
Our Community Strategic Plan, is a framework intended to guide LAMBAC’s involvement over the next five years as we continue to strengthen relationships, support sustainable growth for businesses and communities, and provide quality leadership for economic growth in the LaCloche Manitoulin area. The plan was developed over the last year in a consultative process that built on the successes of the past, looking forward to exciting new opportunities in the future.
In addition to guiding our choices of which initiatives and activities to pursue, it includes a set of performance indicators that will measure progress towards our goals. This plan will guide the development of our annual budget, as well as a rolling five-year budget and operations plan that will direct prioritization and implementation of our strategic objectives. It will also form the basis for a review of our activities as we strive to make LaCloche Manitoulin a stronger and more vibrant community, working together for the wellbeing of all of our stakeholders.
As we enter our 33rd year, we look back at our accomplishments with pride, and we look forward to many future opportunities.
