IQALUIT – Minister of Canadian Heritage Mélanie Joly brought #DigiCanCon to Nunavut Wednesday, the fourth of six in-person discussions on Canada’s cultural and creative industries.
"After successful stops in Vancouver, Halifax and Toronto, I am pleased to be in Iqaluit today for our fourth in-person discussion with Canadians, including artists, creators and cultural businesses”, she said in a statement. “I know that these discussions will allow our Government to better understand the issues and expectations regarding Canadian content creation, discovery and promotion in this new environment in which we live. Together, let's be innovative and find new ways to create and promote quality Canadian content that stands out."
Canadians are encouraged to join the conversation and take part in the discussions at any time through the Web portal and social media, using the hashtag #DigiCanCon, or to register for the remaining two Facebook Live events scheduled for October 28 and November 7.
