Leamington Arts Centre
Strategic & Covid Recovery Plan (2023)
KLB Consulting is proud to have developed a comprehensive three-year Strategic and COVID Recovery Plan for the Leamington Arts Centre (LAC), a vital community asset and cultural pillar in Leamington, Ontario. The plan was designed to address the significant operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic while charting a sustainable path forward for the organization.
Grounded in a commitment to financial resilience and community impact, the plan emphasizes the creation of a sustainable funding structure to ensure consistent staffing and support for long-term goals. It provides a framework for organizational restructuring, positioning the LAC to achieve financial sustainability and greater independence.
The plan outlines actionable strategies to strengthen operations, diversify revenue streams, and build capacity, all with the goal of ensuring the LAC can continue serving as a vibrant cultural hub. With these strategies in place, the LAC is on track to become a fully self-sustaining and resilient community pillar by 2026.
This initiative not only supports the long-term viability of the Leamington Arts Centre but also affirms its role as a cornerstone of cultural life, creativity, and connection for the community it serves.
