City Council Decision
City Council on June 11, 12 and 13, 2013, adopted the following:
1. City Council add the following paragraphs to the Principles for Funding as described in the report (May 14, 2013) from the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture:
"Economic Growth - Creative industries can make a significant contribution to economic growth and job creation as identified in the City's new economic strategy, Collaborating for Competitiveness. Strengthening key sectors to attract investment and stimulate employment by showcasing and marketing Toronto as a regional, national and international centre of creativity and talent is important to sustainable success"; and
"Vibrant Public Spaces – A priority is placed on arts programming that enhances and expands shared public spaces for all Torontonians and visitors to enjoy. Free and accessible programs that help to create a sense of place, help expand freedom of expression, spark community ownership of public spaces and encourage healthy, active living are particularly valuable. The overall objective of this priority is to create a cityscape that is more reflective of Toronto's vibrant cultural mix and where a diversity of voices are welcome in shaping public spaces."
2. City Council endorse the Principles and Priorities for the implementation of Creative Capital Gains resulting from the community consultation process as amended and outlined in the report (May 14, 2013) from the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, and as further amended by Part 1 above.
3. City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to use these Principles and Priorities, as amended, to guide the preparation of Business Cases for the 2014 Operating Budget process.
4. City Council request the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to work with Toronto Arts Council to better identify the City of Toronto as the funder of Toronto Arts Council Grants.

Origin
Summary
City Council requested that the General Manager of Economic Development and Culture work with the Creative Capital Advisory Council and representatives of beautifulcity.ca in the development of a 4-year implementation plan based on the Creative Capital Gains strategy to achieve $25 per capita spending for arts and culture.
Creative Capital Gains Report was unanimously endorsed by City Council in May 2011 and included five key areas for City investment:
- Ensure a supply of affordable, sustainable cultural space.
- Ensure access and opportunity for cultural participation to all citizens regardless of age, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, geography, or socioeconomic status.
- Support the development of creative clusters and emerging cultural scenes to capitalize on their potential as generators of jobs and economic growth.
- Promote its cultural institutions, festivals and other assets to enhance its position as a Creative City regionally, nationally, and internationally.
- Keep pace with international competitors by making a firm commitment to sustain Toronto's cultural sector and position Toronto as a leading, globally competitive Creative Capital.
Economic Development and Culture staff worked with the Toronto Arts Council, representatives of the Creative Capital Advisory Council, and beautifulcity.ca to consult the community and stakeholders. This report outlines community input on the principles and priorities for new investments, the timelines for additional spending, the desired outcomes, and the appropriate performance indicators to measure impact and success.
