In a recent media release, Bruce County says that culture plays a vital role in shaping people’s lives, enriching communities and bolstering the economy and, therefore, it has created Bruce County’s Cultural Action Plan (CAP) using strategic directions and actions to support the growth and development of the arts and culture sector.Culture 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.
In a new Community Update, Bruce 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.
Bruce County also formed a Cultural Roundtable to coordinate cultural planning, improve cultural communication, and provide input into how the County can support building cultural capacity. Roundtable membership includes municipal staff, representatives from cultural organizations and groups across the County in addition to Bruce County staff (representing the Cultural Action Plan Steering Committee).
To join Bruce County’s Cultural Roundtable, 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 County Warden Luke Charbonneau.
