Cultural Strategic Plans Prince Edward County, 2005

Location:
Prince Edward County, Ontario
Municipal cultural plans are created in
order to identify cultural assets that
might support the local economy, as
well as strategies through which to develop and promote these assets. The
Prince Edward County Strategic Cultural Plan has been recognized as a model
for municipal cultural planning throughout O ntario: it develops a portrait of the
community and presents stakeholder
engagement results that describe the
local cultural heritage as identified by
residents. The plan maps tangible cultural resources and describes the area’s
intangible cultural values through key
stories, symbols, and unique aspects
of the area’s landscape and quality of
life. The plan provides a Cultural Planning Framework that then translates
these values into strategic priorities
and action items for managing growth,
building local partnerships, marketing
the area, and structuring future plans
and policies.
