Case Study: Intersections with Employment Programs
A previous post discussed employment policies as cultural policies. Within this post, I examine the Dawson City Museum’s experiences to demonstrate how employment policies intersect with other policies at all levels of government. Theses intersections can lead to better access to the program or other opportunities. They can also be barriers to access. In otherContinue reading “Case Study: Intersections with Employment Programs”
Case Study: Employment Programs as Cultural Policy
The Canadian and provincial/territorial governments have employment programs. These programs provide funding to hire someone to work on a project or fill a need for a short amount of time, targeting youth, students, and/or regions with high unemployment. Federal examples include Canada Summer Jobs and Young Canada Works. I provide a larger list of employmentContinue reading “Case Study: Employment Programs as Cultural Policy”

Case Study: Property Tax as Cultural Policy?
Municipal museums and related cultural institutions often have greater capacity than non-municipal museums because of the non financial supports municipal structures provide. Examples might include IT services, human resources, and lawn maintenance. Most importantly, municipal institutions are often housed in municipal buildings. As a result, they do not have to pay for utilities, maintenance andContinue reading “Case Study: Property Tax as Cultural Policy?”
Case Study: The Importance of a Marvelous Lunch
When thinking about advocacy, I generally think of major campaigns. For example, in 2011, about two hundred people showed up at Montgomery’s Inn (Toronto) to oppose rumored cuts to the City’s museums, which would have closed the historic site. There was also a petition and social media campaign. These advocacy efforts worked. Yay. If youContinue reading “Case Study: The Importance of a Marvelous Lunch”
