On February 2, the Minister of Canadian Heritage, Pablo Rodriguez, introduced Bill C-11 to modernize the Broadcasting Act. With C-11, Canada’s ambition is to subject large online broadcasting companies to the same requirements for funding and showcasing local and national cultural expressions as traditional broadcasters.
What are the issues underlying this bill? Why is it essential for the cultural community? How can it help our artists, creators and cultural professionals?
The CDCE and Creative Manitoba invite the entire Manitoba cultural community – artists, creators, producers, distributors, broadcasters and publishers in the book, film, television, music, performing and visual arts sectors, public and private sector cultural professionals, and civil society organizations – to attend a regional meeting on Bill C-11.
Broadcasting experts and professionals from various cultural sectors in Manitoba will be on hand to discuss the context and issues surrounding the review of the Broadcasting Act, answer questions, address regional issues, and identify how to participate in the national debate and make their voices heard.
April 7, 3 – 4:30pm, To register click HERE.
