In the context of a growing number of initiatives related to cultural indicator development, a full-day workshop on 'Cities and Communities: Cultural Indicators at the Local Level' was held in Ottawa, Canada, on November 27, 2006. The workshop brought together many individuals and organizations actively working in this area to discuss their experiences and plans, and to address shared challenges including methodological, content-related, and use-context issues. This report, written by Nancy Duxbury, synthesizes the proceedings of the workshop. The documents are available on the Workshop webpages: English: http://www.creativecity.ca/cecc/events/indicatorwkshp-2006.html French: http://www.creativecity.ca/cecc/events/indicatorwkshp-2006f.html
