Campaign for culture | Coalition canadienne des arts
Cuts in the arts by the Carney administration
The Canadian Arts Coalition invites Canadians who care about arts and culture in their communities to add their letter to our easy campaign.
We are very concerned that the federal government is ignoring its own program to strengthen Canadian culture at a time when we need it most, and risking further cuts to our key funding mechanisms.
Thousands of artists and cultural organizations across Canada are supported in part by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Department of Canadian Heritage. This has a clear and tangible impact on the economies, tourism, health and well-being, sense of belonging, and shared identities that shape our country. It is time to invest in our communities, our economy, and our nation by reinvesting in arts and culture.
We have a letter-writing campaign that you can spend 20 seconds or a few minutes on to tell your story.
Full details on this demand can be found in this document from the Coalition.

Culture Montréal: Cultural platform, La culture fait campagne
33 proposals for an ambitious cultural metropolis
In the context of the municipal election campaign, Culture Montréal is resuming its quadrennial review of the cultural situation in the City of Montréal by publishing the 2025 edition of its cultural platform, La culture fait campagne (Culture Campaigns). One initial observation stands out: the end of the pandemic quickly gave way to new realities, whether global, continental, national, or local. Among other things, Montreal’s cultural community is bearing the brunt of rising living and production costs, with the end of emergency aid and a reduction in private contributions.
