Simply put: It's about jobs and the quality of life.
The Creative Enterprise Agenda links arts and the creative process to a far wider range of economic activities. It encourages innovative thinking, fosters entrepreneurial business development and builds a cummunity that enhances quality of life while attracting and retaining a young, well educated, diverse work force that can live anywhere - but choose to live here.
Why? Because we're vital and vibrant. Plus the jobs are created here.
Waterloo Region's rich cultural heritage, entrepreneurial spirit, strong value on diversity and "can do" attitude create a unique context to make this work. Our ultimate goal is to generate private-sector employment in Creative Age industries - those that exist and those still to be imagined. How? By providing the catalyst that creates these new jobs in these new economies.
The Createive Enterprise Agenda uderpins everything: What work looks like. What life looks like. We aim to undertake this by:
- Improving our quality of life:

Prosperity is about wellness for all citizens. |
- Attracting and retaining the best and the brightest:
|
Prosperity is about supporting a young, well-educated, diverse, professional workforce in all disciplines. |
- Cultivating the Creative Economy:
|
Prosperity is about providing resources to make this happen. |
- Fostering bold, new ideas:
|
Prosperity is about risk, experimentation and expansiveness across the globe. |
Prosperity Council and its supporters believe that a creative sector with a sustainable infrastructure is integral to fully realize long-term growth opportunities for Waterloo Region.
