Support for BC’s creative community

The BC government has announced a three part strategy for BC’s creative sector but at least one person in the film industry says it’s not enough.

The strategy is called “BC Creative Futures” and Minister of Community Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett says 6.25 million dollars is going into new and expanded existing programs like after-school sport and arts initatives in the artists and education program.

He says a new agency, “Creative BC”, will work with arts communities, but a man in the audience who works in the film industry says the strategy won’t be enough to save 25-thousand jobs.
