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.

Lawyers are questioning Canada’s approach to screening visa applications for people in Gaza with extended family in Canada after one applicant, a medical worker, was asked whether he had treated members of Hamas.The Canadian Press obtained a redacted letter sent to the applicant by a Canadian immigration officer, which asks if he has “ever provided medical care to injured Hamas members.” If he has not, the letter asks him to say how he was able to refuse “without consequences.”
