Confederation Centre of the Arts stages were filled with music, drama, and laughter and welcomed visitors and artists from all over the world. Our galleries featured diverse and emerging artists who brought new live audiences here while receiving unprecedented digital media attention online. As we complete the first year of our 2019-24 Strategic Plan, we are entering into a global pandemic that has brought with it a paralyzing level of uncertainty. The Charlottetown Festival has been cancelled for the first time in its history, and Confederation Centre of the Arts has had to close its doors entirely as of March 16, 2020. What lies beyond the summer is unknown, so for now we are following the guidance of the Chief Public Health Officer and the Province of PEI – guidance which is updated daily and will ultimately indicate when and in what way we can reopen, and how gathering restrictions will impact our ability to deliver various programs. We remain committed to our Strategic Plan and our three pillars of Artistic Excellence, Engaged Diverse Communities, and Organizational Sustainability. We remain committed to our 12 priority areas as outlined in the plan, and the many resulting goals and actions that are part of our implementation plan.

We greatly enjoyed the work of designing and refining these recommendations. On behalf of all task force members, I thank you for the opportunity to produce this report, and for appointing our group to the important mission of further cultivating a community of artistic and cultural production, vibrancy and innovation. The City of Charlottetown deserves credit for its pursuit and support of initiatives such as the 2011 Cultural Capital of Canada designation, and for recognizing the need to further develop the arts, culture and heritage sectors. Charlottetown can rightfully say it is taking a leadership role in engaging and nurturing Prince Edward Island’s arts and cultural community, and in promoting the importance of the arts in our provincial capital. Our task force has full confidence in the City’s ability to pursue these recommendations. Sincerely yours, Henk van Leeuwen Chair, City of Charlottetown Task Force on Arts and Culture cc: task force members Alan Buchanan, Jessie Inman, Ghislaine O’Hanley, Murray Murphy, Rob Oakie, Julia Sauve, Harmony Wagner, Josh Weale, Natalie Williams- Calhoun, and Darrin White 2 INTRODUCTION and BACKGROUND In October of 2011, Charlottetown Mayor Clifford Lee announced the creation of a Task Force to examine ways in which the City can deepen its support of arts and cultural activity in the provincial capital.

This plan directly addresses citizen concerns surrounding the sustainability of our resources and way of life by identifying the community assets and key stakeholders who can contribute to the solutions. Sustainable cities aim to balance the interests of the Chair – Deputy Mayor Mike Duffy economy and the environment without sacrificing the things that make them unique and vibrant, such as culture and society. Charlottetown understands the importance of these interconnections and I believe will enable working together to put this plan in action each of these integral values to thrive, now and for generations to come. We are so grateful to the numerous contributors to this plan who each added their unique perspective on sustainability in Charlottetown. Through City events, such as the ICSP: Meet and Speak, are gathered feedback from many different groups and stakeholders, increase transparency, and encouraged collaboration throughout Vice-Chair – Councillor Jason Coady the process of creating the plan. The Integrated Community Sustainability Plan would not be an accurate representation of our City’s goals without the voices of the community members who shared their ideas, concerns, and hopes for Charlottetown moving forward. I invite you to review the updated Integrated Community Sustainability Plan and encourage you to continue to send us your feedback.
