Project background
Since 2021, the City of Moose Jaw, the cultural diversity advisory committee and community partners have been taking steps to develop the community’s first cultural action plan. The goal of the plan is to identify a vision, goals, and actions for culture in Moose Jaw.
The municipality is developing the cultural action plan is being developed in four phases:
• Research phase: Initial community engagement and mapping (2021/2022)
• Engagement phase: Community engagement on main themes and action items (2022/2023)
• Development phase: Culture plan development and adoption (2023/2024)
• Implementation phase: Culture plan implementation and evaluation (2024)
The information gathered during the community engagement phase will help guide future culture plan development activities and provide parameters for further engagement and the final adoption of a cultural action plan.
The city says it appreciates the support of SaskCulture and Saskatchewan Lotteries for their continued financial support of the cultural plan development through SaskCulture’s community engagement and planning grant.
