Canadian culture in perspective: A statistical overview

2000 Edition

The third edition of Canadian culture in perspective: A statistical overview, available today, provides a comprehensive statistical portrait of the health and vitality of cultural activities and industries in Canada.

This compendium incorporates data from all surveys in Statistics Canada's Culture Statistics Program, as well as data from other internal and external sources, enabling readers to track various themes and trends over time.

This edition contains sections on: the economic impact of the culture sector, culture activities by tourists and the international trade position of the culture sector; on social dimensions of culture, including characteristics of the cultural labour force, philanthropic behaviour, and the consumers of cultural goods and services; and on various sectors such as heritage, the performing arts and festivals, visual arts and libraries. It also explores ownership and content issues in the culture industries (publishing, film, broadcasting and music).

Canadian culture in perspective: A statistical overview (87-211-XIB, $31/$23; 87-211-XPB, $31/$23) is now available. See How to order products.
