Business Plan 2024/25

Table of Contents

As the custodians of Scotland’s canals, we are committed to their continued impact and relevance - the Business Plan sets our our activities and initiatives for this year and reflected in our longer-term plans in the Corporate Plan 2023-28 which you can see here.

Our latest Business Plan focuses on delivering our mission and strategic priorities to benefit people and communities who live, work, visit and play along our canals.

We believe canals are valuable heritage assets and should be vibrant, full of life, and at the centre of the communities they flow through – thriving with activity, people, boats and wildlife.
