Policies

ACH 1

Incorporate art, culture and heritage, including K’ómoks First Nation heritage, into place-making efforts throughout the city, including in the design of new private and public buildings and spaces. Develop a Public Art Policy or Guideline that supports the growth of public art and artistic expression in buildings, streets, parks and other areas of the public realm, giving preference to local and Indigenous artists. Work towards the downtown Public Commons public plaza concept identified in the Downtown Courtenay Playbook (2016). Regularly monitor and update arts and culture programs to keep pace with the needs of a range of users as the community grows. Support cultural amenity contributions as part of the community amenity contribution of new development.
