B.C. Arts Legacy Funding
September 23, 2010: Straight.com, Stephen Thomson reports:
B.C.’s minister of tourism, culture, and the arts has offered a few hints about how exactly the provincial government might allocate remaining arts Legacy funding.
For 2010, $3 million has been put toward B.C. Spirit Festivals to be held in February, and $7 million has been provided to the B.C. Arts Council. The B.C. government has said annual amounts of $10 million will also be available in 2011 and 2012.
“You’ve seen how we allocated this year’s [Legacy funds]. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” Minister Kevin Krueger said when asked how the remaining funds will be allocated.
