Council’s 2015-2019 Strategic Plan holds a vision of London as “A leader in commerce, culture, and innovation — our region’s connection to the World.” Music represents a major opportunity for London to serve as a “leader in commerce, culture and innovation” within Ontario, Canada and beyond. In September 2014, City Council endorsed the London Music Strategy, developed by a volunteer Music Industry Task Force. Council also approved $300,000 in funding for a two year pilot to create the London Music Office. Following a scoping and recruitment process with community partners, London’s first Music Industry Development Officer was hired in November 2015. The two year pilot will be complete in November 2017. The intent of this business case is to continue the London Music Industry Development Office on a two year temporary basis, noting that on May 30, 2017 as a result of a review of the London Music Industry Initiative Pilot (see link to the Report on the City’s Website http://sire.london.ca/mtgviewer.aspx?meetid=1517&doctype=AGENDA), Council unanimously approved the recommendation to bring forward this business case during the 2018 Annual Budget Update. Successful music cities with vibrant music economies generate a wide array of benefits, from economic growth, job creation and increased spending to greater tax revenues and cultural development. The London Music Office has captured the attention of cities across North America through promotion, programming, education, community integration and policy development. London is cited throughout the music industry as a “Burgeoning Music City”. A number of broad community benefits have been realized through this music pilot such as: enhancing music industry advocacy and engagement, assessing the current state of the music industry through the London Music Census, increasing youth engagement and connection with post- secondary schools, increasing live music opportunities for talented London musicians, building better communities through sound study and mitigation, and creating more favourable business conditions for London’s music industry. The next two years of the London Music Industry Development Officers’ appointment would continue to showcase success of the completion of the priorities of the London Music Strategy. Twenty- five percent of the long-term priorities of the Strategy have not been initiated and are dependent on the lead up work completed with the other priorities, which are on target. Should this position be made permanent in the future, opportunities for future business investment, increased live music, connection with digital film and multi-media, incubation of youth and potential City by-law changes would be advanced. London has a strong and vibrant local music industry which, with proper support, guidance and investment can flourish into Canada’s leading secondary market. Much progress has been made over the past two years, and momentum remains high. The investment in London’s Music Strategy represents a key cultural and economic investment for our community. Continuing to lead in the field of music development, London is strategically positioning itself as a leader in culture, commerce and innovation.
