The City of Montreal’s Commission on Cultural Life, Heritage, and Sports is seeking feedback from the community on their recently issued proposal about how the City will invest in arts and culture over the coming 5 years.
Funding for the Conseil des arts de Montréal has stagnated. Along with our sibling organizations, we are asking our members to show a unified front and tell the municipal government how much the arts matter to the lives of all Montrealers. Beyond that, we ask you to remind them that in order to create the kind of cultural metropolis they envision, they need to keep in mind the needs of the artists themselves, including those who produce art in English. We invite you to submit a statement to that effect, in video or in writing.
The deadline to give your feedback is Friday, November 15 at 5:00 pm.
Step 1 – Familiarize yourself with the Policy Document
Step 2 – Give feedback using one of the three following methods:
- Submit a written document by email (Word or PDF), mail, or in person to:
Service du greffe
Commission sur la culture, le patrimoine et les sports
275 Rue Notre-Dame Est
Montréal, Québec H2Y 1C6
commissions@montreal.ca
- Submit your opinion as an audio or video file by email to: commissions@montreal.ca
- Complete the online questionnaire
The deadline for all of these methods of giving feedback is Friday, November 15 at 5:00 p.m.
Step 3 – Find out the results
Once they have heard the feedback from individuals and organizations, the members of the Commission will draw up its recommendations for the Montréal Cultural Development Policy 2025-2030. The Commission will present and publicly adopt its recommendations at a public meeting to which all Montrealers are invited.
You will have the opportunity to read the recommendations made by the commissioners, and to ask questions or comment on them.
