This report articulates the Canadian Culture Satellite Account (CSA) developed by Statistics Canada. The Canadian CSA provides measures of the economic importance and activity of culture, arts, heritage and sport in Canada in terms of output, gross domestic product and employment, for reference year 2010.
The report was prepared for the Federal- Provincial-Territorial Table on Culture and Heritage (FPTTCH) and its associates by the staff of the Satellite Accounts and Special Studies Section, National Economic Accounts Division, Statistics Canada.
Since the beginning, Nova Scotia has been a funding partner in the development of the Culture Satellite Account and remains actively involved as a leader of the FPTTCH’s Culture Statistics committee.
