The Cultural Human Resources Council has just released a report entitled The Effect of the Global Economic Recession on Canada’s Creative Economy in 2009, a report prepared by The Conference Board of Canada that measures the impact of the current recession on the cultural sector. The report is broad-ranging, covering both the cultural industries and the not for profit sector – and we dare say few of its findings will come as a surprise to the people most closely involved with Canadian orchestras. Nonetheless, it’s a solidly presented piece of research, and well worth your review.
You can find the report – the first in a series of three reports that the Conference Board is working on for CHRC – on CHRC’s website here.
