DID YOU KNOW THE MUNICIPALITY HAS A CULTURAL PLAN?<br />

The Municipality of Port Hope, undertook a process to create a Cultural Plan<br />

in 2011. The Cultural Plan is a community plan that developed a definition of<br />

culture, and identifies a series of strategic priorities.<br />

Definition of Culture for the Municipality of Port Hope: Culture is a creative<br />

expression of who we are and who we want to be. It recognizes our values,<br />

customs and beliefs, heritage, built and natural environment, and our<br />

intellectual and social achievements. Culture is all those things that make<br />

our Municipality unique and vibrant – how people express life and live in<br />

our community.<br />

To review the Cultural Plan please go to<br />

The Municipality values culture and continues to strive to further develop<br />

culture initiatives. If you have any ideas or suggestions please contact the<br />
