Where We Have Come FromCommunity Vision: A community where ...

We promote our unique identity to highlight our cultural assets There is an ease of access to community information for residents and

tourists The arts, culture and heritage sectors excel through collaboration There is an enhanced focus on:

Our natural heritage resources The strategic development of arts, culture and heritage hubs An interconnection of these hubs through natural pathways (trails, bike

paths, water) The regeneration and beautification of Highway 7 to reflect Halton Hill’s

diversity The repurposing of heritage/existing infrastructure for arts, culture and

heritage uses Arts, culture and heritage considerations are integrated into local

planning processes

2009 Activities and InsightsThe View from My Vantage Point...

...where our community is strong:High number of activities/groups/resources

for small communityActive support from all levels of municipalityWorking models of collaboration already

existPassion for arts, culture and heritage clear

2009 Activities and InsightsThe View from My Vantage Point...

...where our community is challenged:

High # of activities/groups/resources for small community depletes volunteer capacityMany groups are TINY and aging with no succession planning in placeToo few strategic leaders available & they are tiredMany organizations need capacity building and partnership building skills
