About the Roundtable Series

Happening all around the province, the Roundtables will focus on a Cultural Policy Discussion Paper which will address:

• What local and regional issues should be reflected in a Cultural Policy;


• How a Cultural Policy could recognize the economic and social impact of cultural activities;


• How a Cultural Policy should acknowledge the historic and contemporary importance of the multicultural diversity of BC’s communities;


• How a Cultural Policy could impact the relationships between the sector and the provincial government and its ministries and agencies.
