Culture & Heritage
Nearly every country deals with the question of how to maintain its cultural identity when "global culture" is washing over the earth. Federal policy is driven by the belief that culture is important to all Canadians & that we need to express our sense of ourselves. Canada's model for cultural affirmation is based on respect for freedom of choice & expression; promoting the creation of Canadian content; maintaining shelf space for Canadian cultural products; developing policies for cultural undertakings; forging partnerships with creators; & preserving our heritage to tell our collective story. This model is applied to all 5 facts of culture & heritage: creation, production, distribution, promotion & conservation. This document looks at current questions in the following cultural industries: broadcasting; film & video; music; publishing; newspapers & magazines; multimedia; the arts; heritage.

Ontario's African-Canadian Heritage
Ontario’s African-Canadian Heritage is composed of the collected works of Professor Fred Landon, who for more than 60 years wrote about African-Canadian history. The selected articles have, for the most part, never been surpassed by more recent research and offer a wealth of data on slavery, abolition, the Underground Railroad, and more, providing unique insights into the abundance of African-Canadian heritage in Ontario. Though much of Landons research was published in the Ontario Historical Societys journal, Ontario History, some of the articles reproduced here appeared in such prestigious U.S. publications as the Journal of Negro History. This volume, illustrated and extensively annotated, includes research by the editors into the life of Fred Landon. It is the Legacy Project for the Bicentennial of the Abolition of the Atlantic Slave Trade, an initiative of the OHS, funded by a "Roots of Freedom" grant received from the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration.
