Welcome to the brand-new Creative City Blog!

We here at the Creative City Network of Canada are committed to bringing you the latest news, research and information on the development of arts, culture and heritage in Canadian communities. The Creative City News e-Newsletter has been a great way of delivering this information, and we hope to build on that with this blog. Updates here will be cross-posted to our Facebook and Twitter accounts, so you can follow us there to stay in the loop.

We'll be using this space to let you know what's going on at head office. We'll keep you posted on our in-person meetings and professional development opportunities, as well as the status of the projects that we're working on. We have a number of exciting project ideas for 2010/2011 and we'll give you more details as they progress and become finalized. We'll also use this space to discuss the initiatives being put forward by our members and by other organizations working towards similar goals.

We'd like you to get to know the people behind the CCNC and your fellow members a little better. While most of the blog entries will come from the CCNC team, Katherine Clark and Kelsey Hicks, you'll also be hearing from the CCNC board from time to time with our "Messages from the President". We've updated the website to include photos and bios of the staff team and Board of Directors, and we'll introduce you to new members as they join. We'll also be launching a "Member Showcase" feature where we will highlight what's going on in a different member municipality every month.

As always, we value your feedback! Let us know what you'd like to see here and continue sending us your news and achievements.
