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?
