From rehearsal rooms and galleries to studios, stages and community spaces, Toronto’s cultural infrastructure is under pressure. Help shape what comes next. Tell us what’s working, what’s needed, and how we can protect, improve and expand the spaces that keep Toronto’s culture thriving. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Cultural spaces (also known as infrastructure) includes the physical spaces and facilities where people create, produce, learn, rehearse, present, preserve, share and experience culture. Across Toronto, these spaces are facing significant pressures, including rising property and maintenance costs, reduced funding, and ongoing impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
This survey builds on public input gathered through the development of Culture Connects: An Action Plan for Culture in Toronto (2025–2035). Through this study, we aim to better understand Toronto's cultural spaces, identify current needs and challenges, and guide actions to protect, improve and expand cultural infrastructure across the city.
This study is being led by the City's Economic Development and Culture Division in collaboration with LURA Consulting, OCAD University's Visual Analytics Lab, and the University of Toronto’s John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design.
Participation in this survey is voluntary. Survey responses are being collected by LURA Consulting on behalf of the City of Toronto. Survey responses will be reviewed and analysed by the project team, which includes LURA Consulting, OCAD University's Visual Analytics Lab, and the University of Toronto’s John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design. Responses will be kept confidential and reported in aggregate. Optional demographic information will be used to understand survey participation and differences in access and need and will not be publicly reported in a way that identifies individuals.
