FUTURE INITIATIVES, GOALS & OBJECTIVES
For 2017, Accessibility and Inclusion will continue to work with community partners
to maintain the level of support provided for children and youth with disabilities to
access day camps and other recreation programs throughout the City. Going
forward, the focus will be to train and build capacity amongst supervisors and pro-
gram staff. The goals will be to increase awareness, teach skill sets to positively
support behaviours, and ensure environments are created to be welcoming and
inclusive.
The Youth Arts Engagement/
Community Art Program is a City-wide
arts program that seeks to bring youth
and young adults together to
collaborate on art projects, creating real
and meaningful mentoring, skill
development and leadership
opportunities. Youth Community Art
Programming Teams (“CAP Teams”)
will work together with the support of
staff and mentoring artists to envision,
develop and deliver community art
projects. The Program launched in 2016
in City Centre, is expected to expand to
Clayton and Newton in 2017. Following
construction in 2016, 10660 City Park-
way began operations in 2017 as a
community art space focusing on youth
engagement. Royal Canadian Theatre
Company and Streetrich Hip Hop
Society will begin programming in the
space as part of a Partnership
agreement with the City; and
The Surrey Art Gallery will contribute to
the City’s recognition of Canada 150
with a series of exhibitions that
respond to the recommendations of the
Truth and Reconciliation Commission,
and the vision and future of Canada
through the work of artists. The Gallery
will also offer workshops in the
schools, led by an Indigenous art
educator about contemporary
Indigenous art.
