Culture Division
The Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage is
an active supporter and promoter of Nova Scotia's culture sector.
Through this support, government recognizes the importance of
our artists and our cultural community. It also acknowledges
that producing arts and crafts for markets both here at home
and around the world helps to drive our economy and provides
a better quality of life.
This division's mission is to develop and promote cultural resources
and artistic expression, in partnership with and for Nova Scotians.
The Culture Division provides annual assistance and services
to the culture sector, which is one of the fastest growing sectors
in Nova Scotia. The direct and indirect impact of the culture
sector in Nova Scotia, as measured by the contribution to the
GDP, was estimated at almost $1.2 billion in 2001, with some
28,000 direct and indirect jobs depending on culture activities.
