Cultural Action Plan

The Township of Centre Wellington has undertaken a comprehensive update to its Cultural Action Plan, building upon the original "Culture Matters" initiative from 2012–2013. This updated plan, developed with the assistance of a municipal cultural planning consultant, aims to guide the community's cultural development in alignment with contemporary needs and priorities.

Key Components of the Updated Cultural Action Plan:

• Community Engagement: The process involved extensive community consultation, including workshops, surveys, and interviews, to gather input from residents and stakeholders.​

• Strategic Framework: The plan outlines a clear work plan structured around three key roles for the Township:

  1. Connector & Facilitator: Foster networking, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing among artists, cultural organizations, businesses, and the community.

  2. Funder & Investor: Provide financial and non-monetary support to strengthen local cultural organizations and professionals.

  3. Promoter & Advocate: Advocate for the arts and culture sector and promote cultural events and initiatives within the Township.

• Action Areas and Tasks: The plan identifies 13 action areas and 33 tasks to ensure culture remains a vital component of Centre Wellington’s identity and growth.​

The updated Cultural Action Plan is designed to enhance cultural development and optimize community resources, ensuring that culture continues to thrive in Centre Wellington.
