Minister Freeland presented Budget 2021
<https://www.budget.gc.ca/2021/home-accueil-en.html> today and here are a
few highlights with you when it comes to museums.
- Investments for the *digitisation of information and collections* by
non-national museums and heritage institutions, which will allow these
institutions to create original content such as educational materials,
apps, or other virtual activities to enhance the visitor experience ($23M
over 3 years to the * Museums Assistance Program*, starting in 2021-22).
- $371.8 million in *new funding for Canada Summer Jobs* in 2022-23 to
support approximately 75,000 new job placements in the summer of 2022. This
is in addition to 2020 Fall Economic Statement funding for approximately
94,000 additional job placements in 2021-22.
- New funding to help upgrade arts and heritage organisations to meet
public health guidelines. $15 million in 2021-22 to the *Canada Cultural
Spaces Fund*.
- Extension of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, the Canada Emergency
Rent Subsidy and the Lockdown Support until September 2021. The subsidy
rates would gradually decline over the July-to-September period to target
sectors that are slower to recover
- To promote recovery from the pandemic for heritage, arts, and sport
sectors that contribute so much to the cultural life of Canada, we propose
to invest $300 million over two years, starting in 2021-22, to Canadian
Heritage to establish a Recovery Fund for Heritage, Arts, Culture, Heritage
and Sport Sectors.
