Canadians have long recognized the importance of the arts and culture in connecting to one another, sharing their stories across Canada’s vast geography and diverse communities, and contributing in turn to the Canadian story. Today, as Canada has joined the world at a global crossroads and finds itself faced with complex questions arising from the growing intersection of culture, diversity, and technology, Canada’s national cultural policies are in need of re-examination.
The forum will seek to: • give a clearer sense of the historical drivers/factors/fundamentals that continue to exert an influence on cultural policy in Canada, and a sharper understanding of the rapid demographic, technological, and social changes acting on this reality from within and without; and • articulate a rough framework of priorities for collaborative cultural policy reform in Canada, linking questions of cultural identity and creative expression to the challenges and opportunities for entrepreneurship presented by the knowledge-based economy and society. The ACS will also be producing an issue of its magazine, Canadian Diversity, that will cover the issues raised in the forum. Participants in the forum will contribute the articles and papers that will be included in this publication. The publication will cover the following themes of the forum 1) Cultural Policy, History and Identity, 2) How Technology is Changing the Definition of Canadian Culture, 3) Culture and Economics, 4) Demographics and Cultural Consumption, and 4) International Perspectives from the private and government sectors balanced with a Canadian voice. The publication will be distributed to the ACS members and will be made available through the ACS website as well as through Culturescope.ca. There is a registration fee for this event. For additional information contact Marie-Pascale Desjardins at Tel: 514-925-3099.
