CULTURE-LED REGENERATION PROGRAM
Our recent Creative Spacemaking Workshop on June 7 - 8 in Hamilton, Ontario was
a resounding success, convening an intimate, diverse group
of over 40 participants hailing from 17 different municipalities across Ontario
and outside of the province.
Ranging in both sector and interest, enthusiastic delegates and faculty
exchanged hands-on learning experiences over 2 days of interactive
discussions, inspiring local site tours and extensive "how to" curriculum on
developing and sustaining creative communities within
affordable and dynamic spaces.
