Standing Committee on Arts, Culture Heritage

WHEREAS municipalities in British Columbia are the largest per capita government funders of arts, culture and heritage in BC; AND WHEREAS the Province of BC launched BC Creative Futures in 2013, acknowledging that cultural industries create job growth, turn ordinary cities in destination cities, create interconnections between arts and business, revitalize urban areas, attract skilled workers, and create spin-off businesses: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the UBCM strike a standing committee on arts, culture and heritage in order to support and promote arts, culture and heritage to the province.
