3.2.1 Corporate Business and Human Resources Plan

WD’s Corporate Business and Human Resources Plan for the three year planning period beginning 2008-2009 is available on WD’s website.  This Corporate Business Plan provides an integrated and comprehensive overview of the Department’s Strategic Outcomes and priorities, which guide WD’s activities and frame planning and reporting.

3.2.2 Section 41, Official Languages Act

WD recognizes the value and contribution of Official Language Minority Communities (OLMCs) in the economy of Western Canada, and within the context of WD’s mandate, support for their economic development and diversification, as with all western Canadian communities, is a priority.

WD’s Official Languages Act (OLA) related activities are in alignment with departmental priorities and strategic outcomes, as well as the government’s 2008-2013 federal strategy for official languages - A Roadmap for Canada’s Linguistic Duality.  WD received $3.2 million under ‘The Roadmap’ for economic development for OLMCs.  WD collaborates with other federal institutions (such as Canadian Heritage, Industry Canada, the other regional development agencies), and the Francophone Economic Development Organizations (FEDOs) to maximize the economic benefits for western OLMCs.
