This month, the City of Toronto is asking the public for input on how to spend and measure the impact of the new arts and culture funding that has recently become available from Third Party Sign Tax retroactive revenues.
Four public consultations will take place:
In addition to these public consultations, an online survey is available until April 30 at http://fluidsurveys.com/s/city-of-toronto-cultural-services-creative-capital-investment/.
These public consultations are being presented by the City of Toronto and the Toronto Arts Council with the support of the Creative Capital Advisory Committee and the Beautiful City coalition.
The public's input will become part of a multi-year cultural funding implementation plan that will be presented to the City's Economic Development Committee in May.
More information about Council's recent decision on the new funding for arts and culture is available at http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2013.ED20.5.
This month's City Council session was especially significant for me, as two initiatives I've worked on for a long time came to fruition.
Danforth Pizza House celebrating 60th anniversary today with special guests.
City Council to consider a report recommending the approval of a renovictions by-law.
