Where We Are
From its heritage and black history, immigrants from around the world, and to ancient First Nations; this community is culturally rich.
Where We Want to Be
Our population will be thriving, valued and have a vibrant social and cultural diversity.
Why It Matters
Strengthening our cultural assets will help to improve our economic, social and environmental health. It is born out of the growing recognition that culture enriches people's lives and creates a sense of "place" and belonging. A vibrant cultural scene generates economic activity, creates prosperous cultural industries, and attracts tourists, major employers and new residents.
How We Will Get There
Promoting culture through engagement, cultural diversity and an atmosphere of inclusion in a creative economy.

Diversity

Creative Economy
