Building Your Downtown Into a Venue For Year-Round Events to Create Economic Stability |
Most cities bring citizens together to celebrate seasonal or creative events. Some do so better than others do, particularly in northern winters. However, there is no doubt about the importance of creating a festive downtown for both civic pride and for driving the economic performance of your downtown. In this workshop, learn how to:
 Plan, market and execute a year-round event program for your city
Pick the right space that will drive people to the event, and to services before and
after
Maintain a safe and meaningful experience that will appeal to a diverse community
Learn how to create a year-round event schedule that will drive economic sustainability.

Gain new insight to Provincial guidelines on intensification strategies
Know your role in working more effectively with Provincial regulations |
