FAQs

A culture plan sets out a vision for the role the municipality is to play in culture over a set time period. 

Culture plans are developed collaboratively with the community. 

Common elements include:

• a shared definition or understanding of culture
• maps and inventories of cultural assets
• goals and an action plan to work towards those goals

Culture plans are important because culture is important! Culture brings people together. A healthy cultural life supports individual and community wellbeing. 

Culture plans:

• Demonstrate culture is a municipal priority
• Make sure that the City is using the same definition and understanding of culture across its work
• Helps guide cultural programs and supports
• Identifies actions that the City can take to improve access to culture and support cultural participation, creation and expression
