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.
