Culture Plan

Culture plays an important role in defining and enhancing our quality of life.  Cultural Development, Community Programming & Events oversees and implements the City's Cultural Policy and the Inspire Thunder Bay Culture Plan. The section advises City Council on issues, policies and strategies related to cultural enterprises and activity in the city. Cultural Development & Events develops and manages cultural support programs, manages the City's Public Art collection, participates in City planning and undertakes special initiatives approved by Council. 

Inspire Thunder Bay Culture Plan

The Inspire Thunder Bay Culture Plan identifies community needs and priorities and provides the City with a focus for future cultural development. Developed with extensive community input, the Plan is a guiding, strategic document for the City and its partners and is an integrated approach to community building. It was developed through a process of Cultural Mapping, extensive community consultation and cultural policy research.

We receive advice and recommendations on the implementation of the Cultural Policy and Culture Plan through advisory committees including the Public Art Committee, and the Grant Review Team (GRT).
