Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe Strategy

2025-2030 Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe Strategic Plan

The City of Ottawa’s RCFS department is pleased to share the final 2025-2030 Meridian Theatres at Centrepointe Strategic Plan.

This 5-year strategic plan is the product of extensive consultations and engagement with a wide range of stakeholders, including members of the public, community partners, volunteers, and arts professionals. Their input has helped us shape plans that reflect diverse perspectives and address both community needs and goals.

We are excited about the opportunities the strategic plan will bring to further celebrate creativity and support the arts community in our city.

Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe Strategy

Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe (MTAC) is a municipally owned and operated facility at Ben Franklin Place in Nepean. It includes a 954-seat Mainstage and a Studio Theatre seating between 199 – 234.

MTAC currently operates under a mandate that was established by the former City of Nepean in 1987, thus not reflective of the current theatre landscape, community and audience needs and the emerging technologies utilized to operate the theatres. As such, the City of Ottawa has identified a need for MTAC to establish and update strategic priorities, providing clear operational direction for the theatres.

Following an evaluation of the current operating model and consultations with stakeholders, an updated mandate and a 5-year strategic plan will be developed to establish a clear direction and delivery model for MTAC.

If you have any questions, please contact strategie_theatres_strategy@ottawa.ca
