How Do You Experience Arts, Culture and Heritage?
Do you attend local events, visit museums, or participate in creative activities? Your experiences—big or small—can help us understand what’s working and what could be enhanced.
What We've Been Up To:
The Summer of Engagement is now complete! Over the past few months, community members have shared their ideas, stories, and feedback through surveys, Idea Labs, workshops, interviews and sounding boards. Using that input, the project team has prepared a draft Existing Conditions and Engagement Summary Report that highlights seven key themes emerging from your contributions.
A big thank you to everyone who took part in shaping the future of arts, culture, and heritage in Loyalist Township and congratulations to Chantal, winner of our summer engagement draw! Chantal’s name was randomly selected from those who completed the community survey, earning her a $100 gift card to the local business of her choice.
What's Next:
In November, we’ll be hosting another round of workshops to dive deeper into the seven key themes and work together to continue developing strategies for the next steps of the Arts, Culture & Heritage Master Plan. We encourage you to stay involved as your voice plays a vital role in guiding this exciting journey to co-create a 10-year Arts, Culture & Heritage Master Plan for Loyalist Township. Keep an eye here for workshop details coming soon.Things to Think About:
