CCA Publishes its 2012-13 Analyses of Provincial and Territorial Budgets

Cana­dian Con­fer­ence of the Arts (CCA) and the Centre on Governance of the University of Ottawa have released the Analy­ses of the Provin­cial and Ter­ri­to­r­ial 2012–13 Bud­gets from the per­spec­tive of arts, cul­ture and her­itage.

This report was scheduled to be published in the fall of 2012. Further to the CCA having had to shut down its Secretariat at the beginning of November, the work had been delayed, but thanks to the partnership of the Centre on Governance, the document is now available on the websites of both organizations.

For sev­eral years, the CCA has also pro­duced an Analy­sis of the Fed­eral Bud­get’s impact on the cul­tural sec­tor widely used by pol­icy mak­ers and aca­d­e­mics. As part of its 2012–2017 Busi­ness Plan, the CCA had iden­ti­fied the need for a sim­i­lar type of pub­li­ca­tion look­ing at how provin­cial and ter­ri­to­r­ial bud­gets affect the var­i­ous cul­tural sec­tors across the country. 

The CCA and the Centre on Governance believe that both documents will become more critical as other sources of information about the overall health of the cultural sector in Canada disappear or become less frequent. 

The Centre on Governance would like to determine if this initiative offers a real and valuable service to those interested in cultural policy development and analysis. After having a look at the report, please take five minutes to answer the market survey you will find here. 

The survey will close on Monday, March 18, 2013.
