The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, will be sharing
the Government of Canada’s vision for our cultural and creative industries
in a speech on September 28, 2017, hosted by the Economic Club of Canada in
Ottawa.


Our diverse and vibrant creative sector is a source of pride for all
Canadians. It is a powerful force for economic growth and development,
while sharing our stories at home and abroad. With digital technologies
rapidly transforming Canada’s cultural landscape, we have the opportunity
for a renewed policy approach and a bold vision for Canada’s creative
sector in the world stage.


The Department of Canadian Heritage will be livestreaming the event on
Facebook in both official languages. For the most up-to-date information,
