Focus on Culture

Earlier this month Satistics Canada introduced “a new electronic format to the publication Focus on Culture.” This might be a handy resource for those who like to keep tabs on such things as “film and video production and distribution, movie theatres, TV viewing and radio listening, the performing arts, book and periodical publishing, heritage institutions, government and private sector funding of culture, culture trade and investment, the culture labour force, Canadians consumption of culture.”

There’s a chronological index that’s probably the best way in. The current issue is “What Canadian households spend on culture goods and services.”

My only complaint is that the web pages present unconstrained text which, if you use your browser fully expanded as most people seem to, spreads the lines of text far to wide for reading. There’s no properly formatted PDF file either for offline use.
