In Focus: Culturescope.ca

I just came back from printing some of the blogs on the business center courtesy of The Canadian Cultural Observatory and Canada.ca., and I thought I should comment on how useful this service has been. I’ve seen people checking their e-mails, reading this wonderful blogs =), and visiting various websites. Everyone seems to be pleased with the setting. At the same time, considering that this is a policy conference, I think that it is important to raise awareness about the Observatory website's: http://www.culturescope.ca/. This Canadian Heritage initiative serves as a portal for cultural policy decision-makers, researchers and other professionals. Among other things, it provides links to valuable resources that pertain to cultural policy, and it lists relevant events that pertain to the cultural sector happening soon across Canada.

For those of you thinking that this sounds too much like a “paid-advertisement,” passed as information, I can assure you that I am not making any financial gains from the post. The truth is that being a student of public policy, with an interest in cultural policy, I think I should had been aware of this website long before I did. If you do click on the link, you may find that their interface is not as user friendly as it could be, but I’ve been told that they are launching a new re-designed website in a couple of weeks. Enjoy!
