The Canada Cultural Spaces Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage is awarding a $5 Million grant to assist in creating the Cape Breton Centre for Arts, Culture and Innovation, to be located in Sydney, Nova Scotia. The Holy

The federal government is interested in creative growth, so it is funding the space to allow aspiring artists to both create their work and share it with others, through a program called Creative Canada.
