Cultural Report
The City of Burlington began the cultural planning process in an effort to align the municipality's goals, planning and policies with the cultural desires and identity of the community and its cultural stakeholders. A Cultural Report was drafted in consultation with the community and presented to City Council in March 2013.
Cultural Action Plan
The Cultural Report was followed by the Cultural Action Plan, a set of practical recommendations developed and discussed at two community consultations and through online feedback. The Cultural Action Plan was finalized and approved by Council in November 2013. The plan and its strategic recommendations aim to enhance cultural development in Burlington.
