KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops is looking for resident feedback on their Cultural Strategic Plan.

The city began a review of the plan in the fall of 2022, looking to update the plan for the next 10 years in Kamloops.

The plan outlines six strategic directions for the city;

• Strengthen tourism, social, and economic impacts through cultural development
• Improve arts infrastructure and invest in cultural capital
• Attract and support cultural workers and creative entrepreneurs
• Reduce barriers to arts access and cultural participation
• Celebrate and share stories of this place
• Animate spaces through creative placemaking

“The planning process for the Cultural Strategic Plan included robust engagement and cultural mapping activities, in partnership with the Thompson Rivers University Research-in-Residence program, which resulted in over 2,000 sources of individual input. These activities created a space for meaningful, community-engaged research to create a shared vision for Kamloops’ cultural fabric as well as high-level priorities and directions to inform the plan’s strategic directions, objectives, goals, and supporting actions,” reads a press release from the City of Kamloops.
