The Regional Forums with the National Director
In the fall of 2008, the CCA’s National Director invited its members and various stakeholders in arts and culture to meet for a series of public forums. Forums took place between the October 17 and December 5 in the following cities: Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Montréal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Halifax, St. John’s, Moncton, Charlottetown and Fredericton.
To start a public discussion about the arts and culture sector, the following questions were asked at each session:
What is the current climate within which the arts and cultural sector exists?
How can we better work together, within and beyond the boundaries of the cultural sector, to position arts and culture on the public agenda?
What should be our top priorities for the next two to three years?
What instruments can we identify and develop to achieve those priorities?
