OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government will provide $500 million in support to the arts, culture and sports sectors through Heritage Canada.
The move comes as part of broader efforts to support creative industries impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trudeau says the government recognizes that many artists are facing financial difficulties.
He added those industries “continue to make us dream, particularly in dark times.”
