Strategic Outcome
Canadians express and share their diverse
cultural experiences with each other and the
world.
Program Activity
Descriptions
Creation of Canadian Content and Performance
Excellence
Expressions of culture start with the creation of works and
performances. Canadian Heritage fosters an environment where such
creation happens and where creators are appropriately compensated
for their work, reflecting linguistic duality and the diversity
and richness of our country while achieving demonstrable levels
of excellence. Such an environment is not a given. In particular,
the segmentation of the relatively small Canadian cultural
market, coupled with its traditional openness to foreign cultural
products, imposes significant challenges to our creative output.
Although excellence is what professional artists and
high-performance athletes strive for, its achievement requires a
sufficiently supportive structure, both domestically and
internationally, at all levels of cultural and sport development.
Canadian Heritage focuses on enabling creators to produce and
athletes to perform by supporting the structures and cultural
industries needed for high-quality works and performances.
Sustainability of Cultural Expression and
Participation
Cultural life rests on the continued existence of an intricate
network of institutions, not-for-profit organizations,
corporations, volunteers, professionals and audiences. Like any
ecosystem, it thrives on a nurturing environment. It must adapt
and renew itself. This network is both resilient - it
relies on considerable dedication, experience and talent -
and fragile - some crucial elements of the chain are
vulnerable to investment patterns, market failures, foreign
competition, technological changes, labour strains and
international trade rules and agreements. As an integral part of
the network, Canadian Heritage fosters the sustainability of the
many organizations, cultural industries, entrepreneurs, and
artistic and athletic performance events comprising this rich
ecosystem. It does so by assisting them to increase their
capacity to attract investment, achieve adequate copyright
protection, develop deeper roots within communities, seize
international opportunities, maximize their human resource
assets, practise sound business planning and build strong
organizational partnerships. The Department supports
sustainability by focusing its activities on both domestic and
international fronts in the fields of arts, culture, heritage and
sport.
Preservation of Canada's Heritage
An integral part of sharing cultural experiences in Canada is the
assurance to Canadians that their stories and heritage will be
safeguarded for future generations. It is through the
preservation and communication of Canada's heritage that the
national context is understood, including the myriad stories and
peoples' histories that continue to define the country. Canadian
Heritage resources are also major community assets for connecting
residents and for drawing tourists. Canadian Heritage plays a
leading role in facilitating the preservation of and access to
cherished cultural works and practices, including film, music,
Aboriginal languages, Aboriginal stories and national cultural
artifacts and archives.
Access and Participation in Canada's Cultural Life
Cultural experiences depend on participation. In addition to an
active involvement in the creative process itself, participation
can take a considerable variety of forms: reading, attending
exhibitions or performances, learning through the Internet,
listening to radio, watching films or television, visiting
heritage sites, etc. All forms of participation are essential
links in the chain that permits continued production of Canadian
works, widespread appreciation of the richness of Canadian
culture and sustainable revenues for cultural organizations.
Canadian Heritage helps to create the conditions for a wide
access to and participation in the various modes of cultural
exchange. The Department focuses on exposing individuals and
communities to the wide array of cultural experiences in Canada,
bridging challenges such as distance, community size, language
and ethno-cultural diversity. The primary vehicles for engaging
Canadians in cultural participation are arts activities, mass
media, and conveyors of heritage - whether virtually, or
through objects, events or sites.
Strategic Outcome
Canadians live in an inclusive society built on
inter-cultural understanding and citizen
participation.
Program Activity
Descriptions
Promotion of Inter-Cultural
Understanding
Seizing the benefits of diversity in Canada means that Canadians
can understand and negotiate perspectives across their cultural
differences. This requires deliberate efforts, particularly in a
country like Canada where multiple lines of diversity risk
fragmenting rather than uniting citizens. The result of ongoing
efforts is a uniquely Canadian model recognized by many around
the world. The Department of Canadian Heritage fosters
intercultural understanding by generating opportunities for
Canadians to share experiences and learn about each others'
cultures. One of the ways this is done is through the promotion
of linguistic duality and the learning of Canada's two official
languages. The Department also supports multicultural initiatives
that raise awareness about diverse cultural considerations in
communities and that create spaces for dialogue among various
groups. With attention to the unique opportunities generated by
sport activities in Canada, the Department promotes diversity as
a means of enhancing intercultural experiences and
understanding.
Community Development and Capacity-Building
Aboriginal and official languages communities play a uniquely
important role in Canada as part of the fabric that has shaped
Canadian society since its beginning. These communities face
particular challenges, often finding themselves in minority
situations with their distinct cultural contributions at risk.
Canadian Heritage supports the development of Aboriginal
organizations with programs that build on the cultural strengths
of Aboriginal peoples and help Aboriginal communities and
networks to thrive. Canadian Heritage also supports the
development of official-language minority communities by
enhancing their participation in different sectors of society and
by working to ensure their vitality in all parts of the
country.
Participation in Community and Civic Life
An inclusive society means that all Canadians feel that they have
a stake in their communities and their country; that they can
participate and feel that their contribution matters. In a
country as vast and culturally diverse as Canada, the government
has an important role to play in enabling this vitality and
providing a fertile ground for all communities to reach their
full potential. Canadian Heritage programs and activities
contribute to this goal by helping to address some of the key
impediments to community and civic participation. This is done
through learning and awareness-building initiatives that educate
Canadians about their country and their citizenship, both at home
and abroad, while helping to educate the rest of the world about
Canada. It is also achieved through the development of sport
participation and volunteerism in communities. Youth programs
generate opportunities, encourage participation and foster a
sense of belonging for young Canadians at a time in their lives
when they are first becoming aware of their civic responsibility.
Targeted measures for ethno-cultural and ethno-racial communities
assist these groups in overcoming their distinct participation
challenges. Targeted measures for Aboriginal communities,
including Aboriginal youth and women, ensure the participation of
Aboriginal peoples and build upon Aboriginal cultures.

Strategic Outcome
Current and future generations of Canadians
have access to their documentary heritage.
Program Activity
Descriptions
Managing the disposition of the Government of
Canada records of continuing value
Through the issuance of Records Disposition Authorities, the
development of record-keeping advice, tools and guidance, and the
provision of Federal Records Centre services for departments of
the government of Canada, Library and Archives of Canada (LAC)
enables and facilitates the management of information within
federal agencies and ensures that government's archival and
historical records are identified and appropriately
preserved.
Managing the documentary heritage of interest to
Canada
The building of national documentary resource for all aspects of
the study of Canada is fundamental to the mandate of LAC. The LAC
collection consists of published and unpublished materials in a
variety of formats acquired through legal deposit, agreements
with government institutions and selected private materials
purchased or received by donation. To access the contents of
collections, they must be described. Description can take many
forms and provide various layers of access but is governed by
nationally and internationally accepted codes of practice. At the
same time, holdings are also described to meet Canadians'
expectations for timely and equitable access. Once materials
enter the LAC collection they are managed to ensure their
long-term preservation and accessibility through policies,
procedures and various programs including storage, conservation,
restoration and copying. To fulfill its role as a permanent
repository of the government records and publications, the LAC
enters into agreements with government institutions to ensure
that documents of historical and archival value are eventually
transferred to LAC. LAC also provides advice to assist government
institutions in fulfilling their obligations under Sections 12
and 13 of the
Library and Archives of Canada Act
.
Making the documentary heritage known and accessible for
use
All materials that become part of the LAC collection are intended
for use by those interested in Canada. LAC provides information
and services including consultation, research and lending, across
multiple channels to facilitate access to the documentary
heritage to a wide variety of clients. It also establishes
programs, such as the Portrait Gallery of Canada, and encourages
or organizes programs such as exhibitions, publications and
performances, to make known and interpret the documentary
heritage. LAC also provides information resources and standards
such as the national catalogue and supports the infrastructure
necessary to ensure its accessibility to those interested in
Canada.

Strategic Outcome
Canadians have a better understanding of Canada
and the world through the production of and accessibility to
relevant,
challenging and innovative audiovisual
works.
Program Activity Descriptions
Production of audiovisual works
The National Film Board (NFB) is a fully integrated organization
that combines production, distribution, technical support,
research and development, outreach, access and conservation
activities in many, if not most, of its initiatives, that results
in a script to screen and beyond approach.
The NFB is engaged in the production of socially and culturally
relevant films about major issues that are central to the lives
of Canadians. Since the 1940s, the NFB has developed and
continues to develop an expertise in film production in Canada.
Experimentation in form, technological innovation and
cinematographic treatment are essential to bold media-making and
related technical innovation and support.
The production activity includes the conceptualization, research,
development, production and social marketing of documentaries,
animation film and new media content, as well as other emerging
forms. In fact, this activity is more than mere production; it is
the programming activity by which films are planned, produced and
used by the public as social tools of knowledge building, media
awareness, social innovation and citizen engagement.
Through this activity, the NFB plays a significant role in the
identification, development and mentorship of talent and creative
skills; for this, it engages in filmmaker support, making it an
incubator of new talent. Furthermore, the NFB delivers on its
national and international mandate of producing, distributing and
promoting films designed to interpret Canada to Canadians and to
other nations by the work of its international co-production unit
and the coordination of NFB relevant cultural activities.
Distribution of audiovisual works
The NFB's mandate includes distributing its products as widely as
possible to Canadian and foreign audiences. Using the means of
the marketplace to reach its audiences, the NFB maximizes its
revenues. Distribution activities include: commercializing
audiovisual catalogues and well established stock shot library;
developing and diversifying markets for NFB products in Canada
and abroad; repackaging for specific markets; offering quality
client service delivery; expanding its holdings through
acquisitions or partnership agreements; and undertaking market
research. Through its distribution activities, the NFB develops
strategic cooperation with the public and private sectors in
Canada and abroad.
Accessibility and Outreach
Access and outreach activities connect Canadians with relevant
media resources to foster citizen engagement through lifelong
learning. This is achieved by increasing the presence and use of
primary and secondary materials from the extensive NFB collection
in various learning channels and creating new networks where none
exist; enabling media literacy for all Canadians; and encouraging
Canadians to make full use of the collection. Access and outreach
activities also consist of ensuring the on-going access to the
NFB collection through the management of the collection's
conservation, indexing, and cataloguing and restoration, and
making it more accessible for future generations through
innovative use of new technologies and partnerships, such as
on-line film libraries, on-line learning centres for schools and
digital consultation centres.
Outreach activities include consultation centres and cinemas in
Montreal and in Toronto, collections in partner library systems
in all regions of Canada, regular public screenings from coast to
coast, a membership program, on-line film libraries, workshops
for the public young and old, as well as master classes and a
comprehensive web site which integrate interactive productions
and provide opportunities for dialogue and knowledge sharing.
These activities serve to identify, establish, build and sustain
deep and continuing relationships with Canadians in communities
across Canada, and secondarily, around the world. They serve to
strengthen the NFB brand, and alternatively, Canadians' knowledge
and understanding of Canadians and Canada's place in the
world.
Research and Advisory Services
The NFB is mandated to engage in research in film activity and to
make available the results and to advise the Governor in Council
in connection with film activities. This activity applies to
research connected to filmmaking and the film industry and
conducting technical and development projects to advance the art
and science of filmmaking. The NFB maintains an environment
dedicated to excellence and innovation that is conducive to
incubating and prototyping new initiatives, industry
collaboration and nurturing new avenues for creativity in the
audiovisual form.
Revolving Fund
The Estimates are based on cash requirements for the NFB over the
fiscal year and the Revolving Fund is used to pay for the Board's
expenses calculated on an accrual basis.

scientific and technological objects, programs and research
reflecting a Canadian perspective.
Program Activity
Descriptions
Heritage Preservation
Heritage preservation includes two main components, Collection
Management, which includes preservation and conservation, and
Research, which comprises those activities contributing to the
building of a knowledge base about the scientific and
technological heritage of Canada. The Corporation, as the only
comprehensive science- and technology-collecting institution in
Canada, has a special responsibility for the development of a
Canadian national collection. In view of the breadth of the
potential subject matter to be covered, critical choices must be
made in determining collection content and priorities. Collection
development activities assist the Corporation in making informed
decisions on collection content, while collection management
activities encompass the activities required to manage the
objects accessioned into the collection. The Corporation has
identified seven major subject areas on which it will focus its
research activities. These are: aviation, communications,
manufacturing, natural resources, renewable resources including
agriculture, scientific instrumentation and transportation.
Sharing Knowledge
The Corporation seeks to engage Canadians in discovering,
considering and questioning past and present developments in
science and technology, and their impact on society and
individuals. The Corporation fosters a sense of identity and
belonging for all Canadians, as well as pride in Canada's
scientific and technological history and achievements. It also
encourages active and informed participation by Canadians in the
future development of our technological society. The primary
reason for interpreting Canada's scientific and technological
heritage is to provide Canadians with meaningful information
about themselves and Canada. Just as the Transformation of Canada
theme directs research and collection activities, it likewise
guides the Corporation in its knowledge dissemination activities.
These typically depict the historical development of science and
technology, provide information on the objects in the collection
and review the relationships between science, technology and
Canadian society. The Corporation disseminates knowledge to its
audiences in three primary ways: through its public facilities,
its Web sites and its publications.
Accommodation
Facilities are an integral part of museum operations. They do
more than house staff; they also provide a venue for the public,
and housing for the collection. Facilities have a profound effect
on museum visitation. Appropriate museum architecture attracts
visitors, contributes to the atmosphere and becomes a symbol of
the institution's mandate. A large portion of comments by
visitors allude to their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the
quality of the facilities and their related services.

Canada Feature Film Fund
The Canada Feature Film Fund (CFFF) is the primary instrument of
the federal government's Canadian Feature Film Policy, entitled
From Script to Screen. The objective of the policy, and of the
CFFF, is to capture 5% of the domestic box office by the end of
fiscal year 2005-2006. The Fund provides assistance for
screenwriting, project development, production, marketing and
versions of Canadian feature films that have high box office
potential in Canada. In administering the CFFF, Telefilm seeks to
support the development, production and marketing of compelling,
distinctively Canadian feature films that reflect Canadian
society, including its cultural diversity.
The financial assistance provided by Telefilm Canada is intended
to contribute to the overall growth, and professional and
economic development of the Canadian film industry. Telefilm's
financial participation may be provided in various forms:
investments, conditionally repayable advances, loans, loan
guarantees, grants or corporate envelopes. The majority of
Telefilm Canada's activity centres on investments in individual
projects based on a rigorous project selection process. As an
investor, Telefilm Canada shares the risks and eventual revenues
of the productions it participates in financially.
The CFFF is the subject of a Memorandum of Understanding between
Telefilm Canada and the Department of Canadian Heritage. Under
the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, a minimum of
one-third of funds are reserved for French-language
projects.
Professional Development and Complementary
Activities
This program activity is intended to complement Telefilm Canada's
support to feature film and television production-related
activity, by supporting activities that enhance the overall
environment and conditions in which Canadian feature films and
television programs are produced, promoted, sold and
distributed.
Support in the form of grants is provided to Canadian feature
film and television festivals and to Canadian film and television
awards shows, to raise the profile of Canadian productions with
Canadian audiences. In addition, support in the form of grants is
extended to industry professionals to attend international
festivals and markets, and for professional development
initiatives.
Other Activities
This program activity refers to all programs administered by
Telefilm Canada pursuant to contribution agreements or other
agreements with the Department of Canadian Heritage. They support
Telefilm Canada's audience-and-building-capacity
objectives.
Telefilm Canada has two contribution agreements with the
Department of Canadian Heritage. They provide Telefilm Canada
with the financial resources to administer the following two
funds: The Canada New Media Fund and the National Training
Schools Program. In addition, Telefilm Canada administers
Canada's international co-production agreements and
recommends certification of international
co-productions.
