pemberton & Area Cultural plan

Cultural planning is a process of inclusive community consultation and decisionmaking
that helps local government identify cultural resources and think strategically about how these resources can help a community to achieve its civic goals. It is also a strategic approach that directly and indirectly integrates the community's cultural resources into a wide range of local government planning activities.

The Village of Pemberton Council adopted the Pemberton & Area Cultural Plan at Meeting 1291, on Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Download and review the Pemberton & Area Cultural Plan
