The program activities articulated in the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> corporate plan are derived<br />
from a rigorous assessment <strong>of</strong> the challenges and opportunities inherent in the <strong>Gallery</strong>’s various<br />
operating environments. Each year the <strong>Gallery</strong> considers a number <strong>of</strong> external and internal<br />
factors and their potential risks to the institution’s ability to achieve its objectives. The factors<br />
range from external pressures such as national and international economic conditions, government<br />
policy, demographic trends, and technological change, to internal challenges such as<br />
labour relations, staff retention and recruitment, resource availability, and facilities requirements.<br />
The <strong>Gallery</strong>’s Corporate Plan addresses each <strong>of</strong> these issues through aligned strategies<br />
that mitigate and manage the significant risks while pursuing the <strong>Gallery</strong>’s national mandate.<br />
