This is your chance to shape the next chapter of our city’s ecosystem. We need data from all artists, venue owners, promoters, event curators, producers and music entrepreneurs so we can better advocate for Ottawa’s music future on your behalf.
In partnership with The City of Ottawa and Ontario Creates, The Ottawa Music Industry Coalition is launching the first post-pandemic economic assessment of the music industry. Many changes have taken place in our city’s music ecosystem since then!
This study will identify trends, challenges, and opportunities to attract investment, strengthen sectoral ties, and inform policies that foster growth, innovation, and long-term stability in the music sector. The results will inform the next Ottawa Music City Strategy.
BEFORE YOU COMPLETE THE SURVEY:
- This survey will take approximately 25 minutes and we'll be asking you financial questions about your work.
- To make the process smoother, we’ve included a preview link outlining questions you’ll be asked so you can prepare your answers in advance. A little preparation will make your experience much easier.
- The survey will remain open for 12 hours, so you can pause and gather information if needed.
- Note: the survey platform does not automatically save your responses. Do not close your browser window, as doing so will require you to restart from the beginning.
- The information you provide will be collated in aggregate form to shape the future of Ottawa’s music industry.
We know 25 minutes is an investment of your time, and we are deeply grateful for it. Your insight, experience, and data are incredibly valuable.
Thank you for being part of this work.
