Canadian Heritage is responsible for national policies and programs that promote Canadian content, foster cultural participation, active citizenship and participation in Canada's civic life, and strengthen connections among Canadians.
We salute the Government of Canada for recognizing the importance of preserving, developing, and sharing traditional and contemporary folk music in our country and thank them for presenting performances in the Canadian Heritage Tent.

An important part of the NSLC's commitment to corporate social responsibility is the organization's role in the communities in which we live and operate. The NSLC is committed to economic growth and social development in the communities we serve across the province. To follow up on this commitment, the NSLC decided to dedicate profits from corporate event ticket sales back into the community.
In this spirit, the NSLC has chosen to embark on a program that supports musical talent in our province through the NSLC—Celebrating Nova Scotia Talent program.
Music is at the heart of Nova Scotia's culture. In every community there is a deep-rooted love of music. When people think of Nova Scotia, they think of how the ocean has shaped our land and how our unique Celtic music influences our culture.
The NSLC's goal is to help cultivate the talent right here at home by supporting community music festivals and other musical events.
In addition to NSLC's legislated mandate around social responsibility, the NSLC strives for sustainability across all areas of the business. The NSLC is proud of the leadership and innovation the organization has demonstrated so far, and the goal is to continue building on this momentum.
