The City is now embarking on its first city-wide cultural planning process since 2012. With the aim of developing a new municipal Culture Plan, we are setting the stage for culture to thrive in every neighbourhood and village across Ottawa. The new plan will reflect our diverse communities by recognizing the many ways culture is experienced in our city, with the goal of reaching 10,000 residents. Join the City of Ottawa for the public engagement process launch for Ottawa's Next Culture Plan, where we will explore the future of culture in Ottawa together. This is an opportunity for residents, artists, cultural groups, and community leaders to help shape a new city-wide Cultural Plan that reflects all of Ottawa’s communities. To ensure broad participation, this engagement process includes online surveys, focus groups, interviews, community-led sessions, and a culture roadshow visiting each municipal ward. Our goal is to make these opportunities accessible so all residents can share what culture means to them.
