Tom Reitz, the Manager/Curator of the Waterloo Region Museum, begins the story of the region's repository of culture just where you might expect: at the beginning. “1912 marked the founding of the WTaterloo Historical Society,” he explains. “There was, at the time, no one collecting local material culture in this way.” A few stalwart citizens with an appreciation for the emblems of human achievement began collecting donations of old newspapers and documents, objects, and materials. As the collection grew, the Historical Society identified the need for “a fireproof facility” to store the wealth of artifacts that ranged in origin from natural history to First Nations, agricultural, and industrial. The striking new museum on Homer Watson Boulevard, says Reitz, is the realization of the Society's – and then the Region’s – nearly century-old mandate to find a safe place to preserve the region’s human history and cultures. “In the mid 1990s,” Reitz notes, “the Waterloo Region Curatorial Centre Above:Tom Reitz, Manager/Curator for Waterloo was constructed, which allowed for the proper storage, inventory, and Region Museum, stands in front of an orginal cataloguing of the collection. It was a necessary step, and in hindsight was Conestoga Wagon. really the best process.” With a thorough catalogue of the 43,000 objects in Left: A hair curling or permanent wave machine the core collection and more than 100,000 in the archaeological collection, used at a local beauty parlour in the 1930s. the decade head start of organizational efforts allowed for the new Right: Emila Mogk in a traditional costume in the museum to be built from the exhibits, out. early 1900s.

  • The Cultural Turn in Municipal Planning
    The Cultural Turn in Municipal Planning by Jason F. Kovacs A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Jason F. Kovacs 2009 Author’s declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Jason F. Kovacs ii Abstract Urban theorists and policy makers have begun to re-evaluate the importance of culture in urban development models. Culture is now widely viewed as a critical factor in the economic and social health of cities. Notions of creativity and the growing recognition of the role that culture-rich environments can play in attracting the “creative class,” are being partly expressed in the widespread adoption of urban cultural planning strategies. Cultural planning is commonly defined as the identification (mapping) and leveraging of cultural assets to support local community and economic development. It is also often explained as a “cultural approach” to municipal planning, an approach that entails effective cross-departmental and cross-sectoral collaboration in the implementation of strategic goals outlined within the cultural plan. A literature has been written on the potential of cultural planning by leading experts in the cultural policy field, especially from Australia and Britain. However, there has been a noticeable lack of critical research on this cultural development approach by scholars in Canada, where cultural planning is a relatively new and emerging municipal activity.
