Cultural scan creates community legacy
Thanks to a cultural scan funded by Creative Communities, the Town of Princeton established a community theatre society.
Creative Communities
Description
Creative Communities assisted local governments to take stock of their cultural assets and identify strengths and challenges in their local arts and cultural sector. The program also guided governments through community consultations to determine how and where to expand local arts and cultural programs and projects.
Funding was available for these cultural mapping and cultural planning processes to help communities discover a cultural identity that is unique to them and expand it into a viable part of community life. The program was supported by the Province of British Columbia.
