Government Spending on the Arts, Culture, and Heritage in Saskatchewan
A recent analysis by Hill Strategies of spending on the arts, culture, and heritage showed that governments at all levels invested $13 billion on culture in 2023-24. The federal government spent $5.4 billion, or 41% of all government spending on culture in 2023-24. Provinces, territories, municipalities, and educational institutions invested $7.6 billion on culture, representing 59% of all government spending on culture.
This report analyzes spending in Saskatchewan, not just spending by the Province of Saskatchewan. The analysis includes non-federal levels of government and quasi-governmental organizations:
- The provincial government and its agencies
- Municipal governments and their agencies
- Educational institutions
- Health care establishments (which likely have little or no direct spending on culture)
