Exploring how cultural institutions strengthen Canada’s social cohesion and the impact of our creative communities on the world stage
Societies with higher levels of social cohesion are known to be healthier, more resilient, and more economically robust. Canada’s arts and culture sector plays an essential role in strengthening the bonds between people in the country, reflecting and forming our identity and contributing to the community that is vital for our democracy in uncertain times.
Canada is bursting with talent and making waves on the world stage. Why is it important to share stories by Canadian artists and storytellers, not just within our borders but around the globe? What does the future hold for the national cultural institutions that support the country’s creativity? What is their vision for increasing public access, supporting creators, adapting for the future, and facing challenges? Why does Canadian culture matter when there are so many needs competing for our attention and investment?
Join us in Ottawa, or online, at The Walrus Talks Canada’s Creative Power for a unique opportunity to hear directly from the leaders of seven of Canada’s key national cultural institutions as they tackle these pressing questions and share the extraordinary stories of cultivating Canada’s creative power.

Good morning,In an effort to combat foreign interference, the federal government unveiled legislation yesterday that would create a mandatory registry for people undertaking “influence activity” in politics or government on behalf of foreign powers and giving Canada’s top spy agency more authority to combat threats.However, it’s unlikely the foreign agent registry will be in place by the next federal election. Ottawa said it expects a year delay between passage of the bill and the establishment of the registry.
