Annual Report 2005-06

Artists and arts organizations in 510 different communities across Canada received more than $132 million in funding from the Canada Council for the Arts last year.

The Canada Council reported that it awarded 5,780 grants with a total value of $120.5 million, as well as $2.6 million in endowed prizes and approximately $9 million Public Lending Right payments to nearly 15,000 Canadian authors.

While previous Annual Reports highlighted arts activities supported by the Council,  the 2005-06 report focuses on the Council’s objectives, strategies and performance, as well as governance issues and financial information. A companion volume to the Report, entitled The Arts: a part of us all, provides a glimpse of the year’s arts activities and their impact on communities across Canada.

PDF versions are available for downloading. A complete html version will be added soon.
