Culture.ca is a nationwide initiative that features cultural content from every part of Canada. Culture.ca, Canada’s cultural gateway, is made possible by the support and collaboration of dozens of non-profit and corporate partners, including Canadian Culture Online Funding Programs of the Department of Canadian Heritage, without whose support and involvement this collaborative site would not be possible.
