The availability of entertainment and culture helps define and promote the City’s image locally, regionally and internationally. These social resources are necessary to become a complete community and are essential to attracting residents and investment. Ontario is committed to making entertainment, arts and culture readily available to citizens of all ages. These resources promote opportunities for community engagement, personal inspiration, learning and enjoyment.
