Chapter 9 • Arts, Culture & Heritage - City of Kelowna Official Community PlanREVISED - NOVEMBER 19, 2013
Arts, culture and heritage help create a community with a unique identity, inter-esting places to go, and stimulating things to do.
Culture plays a significant role in economic development since the creative economy is one of the key elements of a dynamic business environment. Cities can only thrive if they are able to attract a diversity of people. Cultural amenities can help attract people of all ages, educational backgrounds, ethnicities and walks of life to live in Kelowna – the achievement of which will be key to Kelowna’s economic future.
Policies regarding cultural development can be found in the Cultural Plan, Coun-cil Policies, the City’s Heritage Society as well as in this OCP’s Development Pro-cess chapter which provides policies in regard to private land use, streetscaping, heri-tage conservation and design guidelines.
This chapter addresses the public component of sup-porting arts, culture and her-itage in Kelowna.
