The City of Cambridge engaged us to develop a new Arts and Culture Action Plan to lead the City’s efforts in supporting arts and culture for the next 10 years.

We worked with the City of Kingston in Ontario to develop its first Music Strategy, creating a coordinated path to grow and strengthen the city’s music ecosystem. Grounded in extensive research and engagement with Kingston’s music community, the strategy identifies opportunities to support local talent, strengthen music spaces, build connections across the sector, and enhance the City’s role in creating the conditions for music to thrive.

We worked with the Canadian Live Music Association (CLMA) to explore the labour challenges facing Ontario’s live music industry. Drawing on input from people working across the sector, the study looked beyond labour shortages to understand the barriers affecting career entry, growth and retention, and identified practical opportunities to build a healthier, more sustainable live music workforce.

The Digital Media Universe in Canada report and presentation is prepared by Nordicity on an annual basis for the Digital Media at the Crossroads (DM@X) conference.

For the 2023 edition of the Digital Media Universe in Canada report, Nordicity presented a review of the revenues, employment, and future trends in creative sectors of the digital media universe in Canada including film/television, digital music, and videogames.

We worked with the City of Toronto to develop a new Music Strategy, setting a direction for how the City can support and strengthen its music sector. The work explored the needs of artists and the broader industry, the spaces and infrastructure that support music, and opportunities to build a more inclusive and sustainable music ecosystem.
