Advancing cultural futures in communities across Canada.
The Centre for Cultural Futures Canada works with communities, cultural practitioners, knowledge ke and cultural organizations across Canada to create cultural value by shaping place identity, fostering social cohesion, and strengthening the social, cultural, and economic vitality of communities. As a national nonprofit organization, we focus on strengthening the cultural sector in rural, remote, and under-represented communities through community-led learning, sector-informed research, and inclusive dialogue.
upcoming conversations

Join us this August for the Centre for Cultural Futures Canada’s Annual Public Meeting, where we will reflect on our first year of operations and share highlights from our work since launch. The meeting will include an overview of our emerging strategic plan, updates on programs and initiatives, and insights drawn from the Future of Rural Culture Summit and the Rural Cultural Leaders Roundtable. This gathering is an opportunity to learn more about our work and the direction ahead for strengthening culture in communities across Canada.
