'Our Island Plan' events next month

Mon, 27 Dec 2021

The public are invited to meet members of the Council of Ministers at two rescheduled drop-in events in January.

The events give the public the chance to feed into the draft ‘Our Island Plan’ and directly discuss future challenges and opportunities.

Our Island Plan was produced within 30 days of the new administration being formed by Chief Minister Alfred Cannan MHK and seeks to deliver a focused and clear direction of travel toward a secure, vibrant and sustainable future for the Isle of Man. The plan identifies five key areas for focus:

• Building great communities
• An Island of health and wellbeing
• A strong and diverse economy
• An environment we can be proud of
• Outstanding lifelong learning and development opportunities for all

The Council of Ministers are splitting into two groups to cover the two drop-in sessions. The events in the south and east of the Island took place on the 8^th December 2021, and the rescheduled west and north sessions will take place as follows:
