Creative Communities
Creative Communities invests in municipalities and other local governing bodies working to build cultural planning into their visions for the future.
Cultural planning can assist a community in developing its creative sector as a means to achieve its social and economic objectives.
Support is available in two categories:
Cultural Mapping
A cultural map is an inventory and analysis of a community's cultural resources and corresponding patterns of usage by the public. This category helps communities take stock of the existing cultural environment: its strengths, challenges, aspirations and gaps. A cultural map:
- Establishes the groundwork for a municipal cultural plan
- Encourages a consultation process to engage community members
- Helps community leaders gain an understanding of the community's interests and concerns

Cultural Planning
Cultural planning is a process of inclusive community consultation and decision making that helps local government use information about cultural resources to develop and improve community programs and services.
This category supports municipal councils and other local governing bodies, staff and community partners in their efforts to develop and implement their cultural objectives. Cultural tourism plans are also eligible under this category if the community already has a cultural plan that focuses on local cultural development.
