The document discusses digital transformation in local government. It states that strategy creates a transformed organization, people and culture deliver performance improvement, and technology is the means of delivery. A framework is proposed with digital at the core and business strategy, technology, capability, alignment and engagement surrounding it to create a transformed council with measurable progress. Citizen engagement is discussed as an area that suffers from apathy and examples are given of how digital tools could enhance engagement.

Talk of Town PP
- 1. Talk of the Town Welcome to the first edition of Talk of the Town. This monthly column will feature Town news, events and issues that affect you and the neighborhoods you live in here in Caledon. During the campaign you, our residents and business owners, shared with me and all Candidates the things that matter most to you. Something I heard over and over was that Caledon is a great place to call home. Based on what I heard, I set my priorities to work with my Council Colleagues in addressing. They include: developing a Citizen-centred approach to service delivery; creating intelligent communities that would see Town-wide access to high speed internet; and enhanced communications and community engagement opportunities. Another key commitment I made was to business development and retention; we are exploring some exciting initiatives to help with this. I invite our business community to join me for my first Mayor’s Business Breakfast on April 8, more information on this event will follow. At this time, Staff and Council are working hard to ensure that we deliver a thoughtful and responsible budget for 2015. As I write this, the departments are preparing to present on Monday and Tuesday nights, with the final budget presentation scheduled for March 3rd ,2015 at 1 p.m. All members of the public are welcome to attend our Council meetings and I hope to hear from you throughout the year on the budget and other important matters. Caledon is a great place to call home – it can also be a great place to work, to play and to shop. Let’s work together at creating a healthy, vibrant Caledon. Mayor Allan Thompson
