Miawpukek First Nation (MFN) Economic Development Strategy (2014)
MFN is located on the coast of Newfoundland, immediately south of Gander. Undertaken in association with D.K. Knight and Associates of St. John’s, this project involved a review of several Band-owned enterprises with a view to making them more accountable and profitable. Additional potential business opportunities for the MFN were identified through a comprehensive community survey, and grant applications prepared on behalf of the Band.
St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre Strategic Plan (2014)
With Golder Associates, TCI was involved in the preparation of a new strategic plan for the St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre. This project involved an extensive community survey; focus group sessions with staff, volunteers and community stakeholders; and public input sessions. An comprehensive environmental scan was undertaken which formed the basis for the strategic plan itself.
McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Creative Learning Centre Business Plan (2014)
TCI undertook a market and financial analysis of a proposal for a ‘Creative Learning Centre’, a new multi-functional adult and family learning centre, at the MCAC. The project involved a best-practices analysis of a number of similar creative centres in art galleries across Canada and the USA, and refinement of the concept based upon this analysis, to optimally suit MCAC. The project is currently under consideration by the Board.
City of Toronto Museums Branding Study (2014)
This assignment was to undertake the development of a new brand identity for the City of Toronto Museums, a collection of 12 historic houses and other facilities that collectively comprised the City of Toronto museum function. The sites included Fort York National Historic Park, Montgomery’s Inn, Spadina House, Gibson House, etc. TCI directed the first phase of the project, which was to gather information about current images and associations held about the museums. A large-scale survey of stakeholders was undertaken (over 1,000 respondents) and staff and stakeholder workshops. This input then fed into a second phase, to develop the actual brand strategy.
