2. We will undertake at least six communications and events projects which increase local awareness and knowledge of MK canals and encourage community and volunteer engagement. 

3. Milton Keynes will become known for its canals, and we will be recognised at local, regional and national levels as a partner to be engaged in discussions on the use and future of our canals.
