Where
do we go from here?

Sheraton
Hotel, Ottawa |
An intensive, all-inclusive,
sectorial consultation to review existing policy components,
identify the gaps, and chart a course for the future.
This is a combined
National Policy Conference/Chalmers Conference.
A discussion document
will be sent to delegates ahead of time, covering:
- Do we already
have a cultural policy? (Background information on the
issue.)
- Policies which
touch on artists and creators, including training, taxation,
status of the artist
- Policies which affect
producers and the cultural industries
- Where do we go
from here? Which policies are still relevant, which
new ones should be added to the mix, what is the cultural
environment of tomorrow going to be?
