Join the Canadian Capital Cities Organization (CCCO) for a national dialogue on night-time economies and the evolving role of Night Commissioners in municipal governance.

Canada's capital cities are increasingly recognizing that what happens after 6:00 PM is not peripheral to civic life — it is economic policy, cultural infrastructure, and public safety strategy.

Join the Canadian Capital Cities Organization (CCCO) for a national dialogue on night-time economies and the evolving role of Night Commissioners in municipal governance.

Moderator & Host
Mathieu Grondin, Night Commissioner, City of Ottawa

Panellists
Kurt Tittlemier, Winnipeg (Nuit Blanche)
Mélanie Brulée, Ottawa Music Industry Coalition / Capital Music Week (CxMW)
Travis Van Wyck, Toronto (Project Manager, Night Economy)

This 90-minute discussion will explore:

  • The mandate and governance role of Night Commissioners
  • Cross-department coordination between culture, safety, licensing, transportation, and economic development
  • The cultural and economic impact of large-scale night programming
  • Music ecosystem advocacy and regulatory reform
  • Tourism strategy and visitor economy implications
  • Lessons emerging from Canadian capital cities

Designed for municipal leaders, economic development professionals, cultural planners, public safety teams, tourism agencies, and community stakeholders.

Free registration required.
