Our Political Party Survey:

We reached out to the five provincial political parties on October 3rd to ask the following questions about arts and culture policy:

  1. Will a government led by your party commit to fully implementing the recommendations of the Premier’s Task Force on the Status of the Artist, released in 2021? 
  2. Will a government led by your party increase investment in arts and culture, and to what extent?
  3. How will a government led by your party deliver a strong cultural sector strategy?

So far, only the Green Party and the Liberal Party have responded. We will add party responses below if and when they come in:
