Coalition to Keep Canadian Heritage Support for Arts and Literary Magazines
Hello friends of Arc!
The Department of Canadian Heritage in Ottawa has recently announced the merger of the Canada Magazine Fund and the Publications Assistance Program into a single entity.
As a byproduct of this reorganization, it is possible that eligibility criteria may change, which could mean Canadian arts and literary magazines will lose their very essential Canadian Heritage funding.
Several important literary magazines across the country are now joining forces to guarantee that any adopted criteria for funding will not automatically exclude them.
Please show your support by joining our Facebook group, Coalition to Keep Canadian Heritage Support for Arts and Literary Magazines:
