Heritage Abbotsford Strategic Plan, 2020 – 2023

Vision: To be the recognized organization for Abbotsford heritage expertise and consultation.
Mission: To collect, record, preserve and share the stories of Abbotsford.

Values

Engagement

Our work is reflexive. We both advise and consult.

Inclusion

It takes people with different ideas, strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds to make our organization succeed. We encourage healthy debate and respect differences of opinion.

Accountability

We are stewards of the stories we tell and the items we preserve. We are responsible to share unbiased facts. The same story can have multiple versions, which gives dimension to our history.

Integrity

We are honest, open, ethical, and fair. People trust us to adhere to our word.

Leadership

It takes courage, innovation and adaptation to forge a better future.
