National Cultural Strategy Workshop

Tak­ing place in Ottawa on March 12, 2009, the National Cul­tural Strat­egy Work­shop was a pro­duc­tive day of dis­cus­sion on the short-term and long-term chal­lenges now fac­ing the Cana­dian cul­tural sector. The CCA brought stake­hold­ers  together from around Canada to con­tinue the process of con­sen­sus build­ing ini­ti­ated through the 2008 Regional Forums. Over 110 peo­ple from all dis­ci­plines, orga­ni­za­tions and  regions par­tic­i­pated in the event by Anne L’Ecuyer  from Amer­i­can for the Arts. A num­ber of pol­icy pri­or­i­ties and pre­oc­cu­pa­tions were high­lighted at the end of the meet­ing, par­tic­u­larly on how the arts and cul­ture sec­tor could develop a more coher­ent pub­lic and polit­i­cal message.
