Each year, the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services holds a province-wide consultation on the next provincial budget and presents a final report with recommendations to the Legislative Assembly.

Safety+

This toolkit is being developed and delivered for museums as a direct response to the increasing demand for support of museum staff, community, and collection safety.

The Pathways pilot program is a year-long process that will support arts, culture, and heritage practitioners to learn, reflect and integrate equity and access more deeply into their work. Participants will be supported with individualized learning plans, peer networks and one-on-one guidance.
