This post is from the draft Call to Action and is now archived. The final version of the Call to Action is now available. Click here to read more about it. 

Through SpeakUpWinnipeg, we’ve identified some actions that can be completed over the next 24 months. These actions respond to community priorities and bring us closer to our vision. While we continue to work as a community to complete OurWinnipeg, the City will work with partners to start taking action right away.

The design of these actions is based on an understanding of social (including cultural), environmental and economic sustainability. While the actions in this section may seem most closely aligned with the social “pillar” of sustainability, economic and environmental considerations have also been made.Additional actions in the City Competitiveness and Sustainability sections speak more directly to these other pillars.

Action

Description

Apply an Arts and Culture perspective to Planning

Include planning for arts and culture as part of the OurWinnipeg initiative.

Heritage Conservation Strategy

Review and renew the City's policies, procedures and incentives that promote the long-term conservation of heritage buildings, sites and interpretive programs.

Winnipeg Arts Central and e-billboard

The Winnipeg Arts Council will continue to enhance this comprehensive public go-to web calendar and listing service to publicize all of Winnipeg’s diverse arts and cultural programming.

Winnipeg Cultural Map

The Winnipeg Arts Council will further develop a public, interactive web-based map of Winnipeg's cultural institutions, resources and assets.

Tools for Culture

As a special planning internship project, research and propose planning tools that could support the development of a wide range of cultural spaces.

 

These actions are based on what we’ve heard about City of the Arts

This was the smallest on the list given, but it was speaks the highest of this city. Culturally, this city is coming into its own, and it should be celebrated in all ways possible. It always amazes me every time I read our Saturday local newspaper and see all of the events that are available to see.

As the Exchange District is front and centre as being one of the artistic areas, it should be maintained.
