   Strengthening Our Cultural Event Investment Throughout the City

   It’s been said that Toronto is a city of villages. It’s also been said that Toronto is a city that is one hour away from itself. As we continue to grow density outside of the downtown core, we want to ensure equitable investment for economic and cultural development to avoid building sleeper communities. We want areas of density, especially the designated Urban Growth Centres, as outlined in the Official Plan, to become vibrant places where people can work, live and play. Newer neighbourhoods with increasing density do not have grandfathered programs such as annual parades and festivals, and therefore require additional support and investment to help communities build capacity towards replicating the great successes seen by vibrant festivals held downtown. This motion requests a report on our current investment into cultural events to help us understand the current distribution and opportunities to strengthen our investment in areas outside the downtown core, especially in Urban Growth Centres.
