Focus on culture
Winter 2000
Focus on culture, Statistics Canada's quarterly analytical publication on culture statistics, available today, contains articles on trade in cultural goods and services and on challenges faced by heritage institutions.
The article "Market opportunities: International trade of culture goods and services" is an analysis of trade data from 1996 to 2000. Many Canadian artists and products are capturing the attention of consumers, not only in Canada but also around the world. As a result, Canada's net cultural trade position has improved considerably.
The article "Changing times for heritage institutions" examines how heritage institutions are facing the twin challenges of reduced government funding and digital technology.
Focus on culture Volume 12, number 4 (87-004-XIE, $7/$20; 87-004-XPB, $9/$27) is now available. A free preview article, "Market opportunities: International trade of culture goods and services" is available on Statistics Canada's Web site (www.statcan.ca). From the Our products and services page, choose In depth.
