Village of McBride Mayor and Council
The Council of the Village of McBride consists of one Mayor and four Councillors elected for four-year terms. Municipal councils are empowered to address the existing and future needs of their community by making collective decisions that are recorded in bylaws or resolutions. Each member of council, including the mayor, is entitled to one vote on matters that come before them for discussion and decision. Such matters are wide-ranging–for example, regulatory bylaws such as animal control, land use regulation such as zoning, fees and property tax bylaws, and key plans such as the official community plan and five year financial plan (budget).

The goal of the Village of McBride Strategic Priorities and Initiatives is to identify and document the priority initiatives from Council, and to lay the foundation for the development of specific longer-term actionable items. The strategic planning process guides the Village’s corporate decision-making, corporate work plan, and the budget implementation processes.
The 2023-2026 Strategic Priorities and Initiatives were updated in March 2023 and are the Village’s guide as to what priorities will be initiated and/or completed in the year(s) ahead. The Strategic Priorities and Initiatives assist in developing and allocating resources to the most important priorities each year. The Strategic Priorities and Initiatives are set to be reviewed in 2026 as part of the Budget process.
