The Canadian Cultural Observatory would like to thank its visitors for using the Culturescope.ca interactive portal since 2003.
We wish to inform you that Culturescope.ca has been discontinued since April 1st, 2008. This is a result of a Strategic Review of Government of Canada programs and activities announced in the 2008 Budget. The original program objectives of the Cultural Observatory have been fulfilled and the decision to discontinue the Culturescope.ca website reflects the changing conditions in the public digital and online environment. The digital space has evolved tremendously since the Canadian Cultural Observatory was created in 2003. There are now other means for the cultural policy and research community to connect and exchange research.
Please note that no new content will be developed. The site will be maintained for the next several months until it is taken offline and archived. In particular, the Culturescope.ca Groups will continue for the next six months with basic support. During this time, every effort will be made to make content and archives related to the Department of Canadian Heritage’s mandate available to Canadians as the Department integrates its online services.
Any questions you may have should be directed to the following phone numbers:
Telephone: 819 997-0055
Toll-Free: 1 866 811-0055
TTY* (Toll-Free): 1 888 997-3123
Agents are available to answer your questions Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. (Eastern Standard Time).
* The TTY is a telecommunication device for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-impaired.
