Building a Downtown That Feels Alive
The panel discussion in Regina highlighted the pivotal role of arts and culture in revitalizing downtown. Leaders emphasized community connection, safety, and economic impact while addressing challenges like funding and audience engagement post-pandemic. A collaborative approach, with artists integrated into city planning, is essential for a vibrant, inclusive urban environment.
