"What should Oshawa's arts and culture sector look like 10 years from now? That's a question city staff are asking the public as they prepare to create a new culture plan a roadmap intended to guide Oshawa's next decade of action to support cultural initiatives. This will be the city's second culture plan, replacing one that's been in place since 2014, says Catherine Richards, the city's senior manager of special events and culture."
"Richards said the city wants to hear what residents love and appreciate about Oshawa's cultural life, but also wants to hear about the barriers people face in participating in events such as transportation costs. What would they see as the most important change that could really propel Oshawa even further? she said. Richards said the city achieved a number of goals from its 2014 culture plan, such as encouraging public art by creating a legal graffiti wall at the Donevan Recreation Complex skate park."
City staff are preparing a new 10-year culture plan to guide Oshawa's cultural initiatives and to replace the 2014 plan. The plan will be informed by public input gathered through pop-up events across the city and an online feedback form open until Dec. 15. The final plan is expected to go to city council in early 2027. Prior achievements include a legal graffiti wall at the Donevan Recreation Complex skate park. Local organizations report strong community spirit and a dense arts, culture and heritage presence, while gaps remain in studio space availability and barriers to participation such as transportation costs.
