The Ontario government is investing over $7 million in the literary arts and publishing sector. “Ontario’s literary and publishing sector is a cornerstone of our cultural identity,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “By protecting and promoting Ontario’s authors, publishers, and storytellers, we’re preserving our shared heritage while driving economic growth and creative opportunities in communities across the province.”
The funding will strengthen Ontario’s creative industries, while supporting local authors and cultural producers who deliver community-driven events and programming that showcase Ontario’s stories to the world. Ontario is home to the largest number of cultural producers in Canada. In 2023, Ontario’s culture sector contributed over $27 billion to the province’s GDP and supported almost 270,000 jobs.
