Background - Victoria 3.0 in the Making
In the fall of 2019, the City of Victoria hosted a series of roundtable discussions with people who do business in the community to inform its next economic action plan.
Each roundtable contained two topics to allow for the cross-pollination of ideas. Most roundtables were open to the public to attract a diversity of people, input and ideas. The roundtables were free to attend and were facilitated by Mayor Lisa Helps at Victoria City Hall.
Thank you to everyone who participated. Your time and input were greatly appreciated!
