Pre-pandemic, Canadians were very engaged with the music industry. In 2016, there was widespread attendance at performances and arts events, with eight in 10 Canadians having attended at least one such event that year, according to a survey conducted by the Department of Heritage and Canada Council for the Arts.<\/span> Leading in popularity were music performances, making up 61 per cent of reported attendance. Canadians widely agree that arts and culture leads to an array of social benefits.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The share of culture jobs in the country\u2019s economy was stable at about 3.4 per cent, but that share was trending in the direction of slow growth. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Canada\u2019s most populous province, Ontario\u2019s music publishing and sound recording industry provided over 4,000 jobs in 2018, making up almost 45 per cent of the 8,986 industry jobs nationwide that year.<\/span><\/p>\n
