The geographic area served is South Simcoe and includes the towns of Bradford West Gwillimbury, Innisfil, and New Tecumseth (where the office is located in the Alliston Community); the two townships Essa and Adjala-Tosorontio; and Base Borden.
The Council seeks to make the Arts accessible and affords opportunities to all members of the communities.
