P2P Strategy Renewal Project

About the Project

In spring 2023, the City of Windsor and County of Essex councils approved work to begin with the Pathway to Potential (P2P) Strategy Renewal Project. The goal of the project was to update P2P’s 2017 strategy, the 9-Point Social Investment Plan, and align it within the vision and priorities of P2P for the next five years. The consulting firm StrategyCorp Inc. was obtained to lead the project.

Throughout 2023, a region-wide consultation process was completed and helped to shape the renewed P2P strategy. The project team is grateful for the feedback and input received from the Windsor-Essex community, including members of the public, residents with lived/living experience with poverty, community leaders, municipal staff and elected officials.

Community Feedback Initiatives

A series of initiatives were launched and completed as a part of the community consultation process. The initiatives took place throughout fall 2023 and invited Windsor-Essex community participation and feedback.

• Community Surveys: Service providers and community members had the opportunity to provide feedback on the issues and impacts of poverty within the Windsor-Essex region through surveys that closed on Friday, October 6, 2023.
• Strategy Renewal Feedback Sessions: Two public feedback sessions were held in November 2023 that focused on gathering feedback on the first draft of the renewed P2P strategy and framework. Several Windsor-Essex residents attended a presentation of the updated P2P strategic framework and provided their feedback. Hybrid sessions were also held via Zoom for residents able to attend online.
