Ottawa Music Strategy

The Ottawa Music Strategy is a comprehensive plan aimed at nurturing, promoting, and sustaining the local music industry from 2018 to 2020. It was developed through extensive consultation with stakeholders in the music community and city officials, reflecting a shared vision for Ottawa as a vibrant music city. The strategy focuses on enhancing the city's musical diversity, supporting music education, and facilitating professional development within the industry. It advocates for the creation of music-friendly policies, increased investment in music infrastructure, and the promotion of Ottawa's music scene both locally and internationally. A key component is the establishment of the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition, tasked with implementing the strategy's recommendations and serving as a voice for the music community. This initiative represents a significant step towards positioning Ottawa as a leader in music innovation and cultural tourism, aiming to stimulate economic growth and foster a more connected and dynamic music ecosystem.
