BACKGROUND
A draft public art plan was developed and presented to Council in 2018 and referred back to staff and the Public Art Advisory Committee for further consideration and development.
In 2022 a revised Public Art Policy was approved by Council reflecting the City’s commitments to equity, reconciliation and social justice. From this, it was determined that it was the right time to re-engage with the development of the plan and build a Public Art Program that is intentional, respectful and inclusive for the coming years.
The new Public Art Plan is being developed by AARTPLACE and CMCK Public Art Ltd. with Ryan Rice, Engagement and Indigenous Relations Advisor.
Projected Completion date is planned for 2025.
