The Board of Directors of Brandon’s Keystone Centre has unveiled its 2025 Strategic Plan. In a media release, the board says the plan is a “progressive roadmap intended to strengthen the Centre’s role as a community pillar while positioning it for sustainable growth and further community impact.”
Keystone Centre Board Chair Bruce Luebke says “The Keystone Centre, and its many partners and their events are deeply intertwined and play a crucial role in the overall success of the community. Together, they create a vibrant and dynamic environment that enhances the quality of life for all residents and contributes significantly to the prosperity and identity of Brandon.”
Produced with support from Brandon-based consulting firm Siere, and guided by community input, the Strategic Plan reestablishes the Centre’s vision to be “an innovative world-class destination where community meets, experiences, learns and thrives for generations to come.”
With this vision in mind, the Board of Directors has identified five strategic themes that will drive progress over the next five years:
• Uniting to Build a Prosperous Future – Cultivating community pride and awareness through engagement and education initiatives that highlight the Centre’s economic and cultural role in Brandon.
