The Regional Forums with the National Director of the CCA
With the arrival of a new federal government in power, this is an opportune time for the arts and cultural stakeholders to gather and consult on the short term and long term strategies, so that the interests of the arts and cultural communities figure within the public discourse and on the political agenda.
During this fall, the CCA will be on tour to meet with artists and cultural workers across Canada. We invite you to meet the CCA Director General, and to express your perspective on the three following questions:
-
Within the arts and culture milieu: how can we improve collaboration in the pursuit of common objectives?
-
What should our 3 to 5 priorities be for the next coming two years?
-
What are the best strategies to promote these priorities?
We look forward to hearing your opinions!

During the next two months, I will travel all over the country to consult with members of the CCA and will all those who are concerned about the important place arts and culture occupy in our society and who want to raise its profile with Canadians at large and with decision-makers in particular. The first of these consultations will take place in Ottawa on October 17 and the last one in Fredericton on December 5.
During the whole process, I will keep here a diary on the highlights of each forum. I invite you to follow this series of consultations to see what is on the mind of your colleagues across the country, the common priorities they think we should adopt and the short, mid and long-term strategies we should develop to make sure arts and culture occupy the place they deserve on the public agenda.
But even more, I invite you to write you comments and suggestions as the consultation process unfolds.
