​Community updated on Bruce County’s Cultural Action Plan

In Bruce County, culture plays a vital role in shaping people’s lives, enriching communities, and bolstering the economy. It creates opportunities for shared experiences, enhances quality of life, promotes a sense of vitality, and encourages job creation and innovation across a range of economic sectors.

The county’s Cultural Action Plan uses strategic directions and actions to support the growth and development of the arts and culture sector. In a new Community Update, the county highlights the goals and progress of the Cultural Action Plan, how the county is responding to cultural trends and community needs, and how members of the community can get involved.

The county formed a Cultural Round-table to co-ordinate cultural planning, improve cultural communication, and provide input into how the county can support building cultural capacity. Round-table membership includes municipal staff, representatives from cultural organizations and groups across the county, and county staff (representing the Cultural Action Plan steering committee).

To join Bruce County’s Cultural Round-table, or for more information, contact Brooke McLean at bmclean@brucecounty.on.ca.

“Continued involvement in cultural action planning by members of the community, is key to keeping Bruce County vibrant and shapes the county’s distinctive and diverse identity,” says warden Luke Charbonneau.
