Contact: Vladimir Skok Email: vladimir_skok@pch.gc.ca Canadian Forum on Arts & Health The Canadian Forum on Arts & Health on-line is an outgrowth of the Canadian Forum on Arts and Health, held in Vancouver in March of 2005. This invitational national forum was hosted by the British Columbia Arts Council, with support from Health Canada (BC / Yukon Region) and the University of British Columbia’s Centre for Continuing Studies. Participants in the 2005 Forum asked for a regular way to stay in touch with each other and to reach out to others in the many diverse fields involved in arts in health. This web group is a response to that request and is intended as a multi-disciplinary vehicle to help people involved in any aspect of arts in health in Canada to connect with others; to explore and debate the most appropriate ways to advance arts in health in Canada; to share experience and research; to locate publications and resources relevant to their interests; and to find working partnerships.

Contact: Donna Cardinal Email: cardinal@web.net OC Middle Managers (Orchestras Canada) Contact: Katherine Carleton Email: katherine@oc.ca Metropolis: Cities and Citzenship Immigration creates opportunities and challenges at both national and municipal levels as new citizens seek to strengthen their connections within and among their communities through cultural and civic participation. This workshop examines the current international and domestic research environment for the social impacts of culture. It considers the potential value and application of social and cultural indicators as tools for developing policy responses to emerging issues and priorities of cultural and shared citizenship in urban communities. Cultural citizenship is an emerging concept that examines the formative role of culture in constructing and understanding citizenship practices such as identity formation and the altruistic behaviours that contribute to a collective’s ability to “live together”. Canada’s model of shared citizenship brings Canadians together through shared ideals and reciprocal rights and responsibilities regardless of ethnicity, cultural traditions or historical experiences while encouraging integration and participation in Canadian society. Highlighted in the workshop are two case studies from domestic and international fora that offer examples of ‘best practices’ of marginalized ethnocultural communities in addressing issues of arts and cultural participation and inclusion. The workshop is also facilitated by the participation of the Canadian Cultural Observatory. The Observatory aims to inform and advance cultural development in Canada by encouraging and facilitating collaborative exchanges among cultural policy researchers, planners, managers and decision makers. To this end, the Observatory is making its on-line tool, Culturescope.ca available to encourage pre- and post-conference dialogue among policy makers, cultural practitioners and researchers on the issues to be discussed at the workshop.

Sport Canada is funding these initiatives to better evidence the benefits of, and barriers to, quality sport participation with the aim of improving Canadian sport policy outcomes. An important component of the SCRI council-based research program is the annual research conference, where policy makers can gather together with all the current SSHRC and CIHR funded sport researchers to share their knowledge and expertise in view of maximizing the practical applications of sport participation research. Some specific objectives of the conference include: strengthening the link between sport research and the development of sport participation policy in Canada; initiating an effective dialogue between Canadian sport researchers and sport policy makers; encouraging graduate students to contribute to and remain in the field of sport policy; and improving the SCRI council-based research program. Contact: Sylvain Poitras Email: sylvain_poitras@pch.gc.ca Tourism Economic Impact Assessment Guidelines These guidelines are designed to enable organizers of small and medium sized fairs, festivals and events across North America to produce more credible and consistent inputs for estimating their tourism economic impact .

Contact: Susan Grainger Email: susan_grainger@pch.gc.ca Users as Creators : les internautes et la création culturelle au Canada This study explores social networks as drivers behind Web 2.0 and their impact on the growth of user-generated content. Canadians are creating and distributing content over the Internet as podcasts, videos and blogs. Such grassroots-based content creation suggests new opportunities for stimulating cultural expression but also raises questions about equitable participation by diverse communities (Francophones, Aboriginal people and ethno-cultural groups). The study will analyze the impact of social networks and UGC for CCO’s strategies and identify possibilities for leveraging this new phenomenon.
