Creative Processes Impact the Economy Cultural Activities Overview Culture plays a dual role in society. Besides its intrinsic social value reflecting society's identity, spiritual health and advancement, culture has an explicit economic value as measured by the employment and wealth that it creates.
Cultural activities span a number of industries and involve many creative processes.
Market opportunities for cultural industries are diverse and include both local and export. For example, the Province's culture plays an integral role in defining its tourism product. Trends which are expected to favourably impact the demand for cultural products in the future include a decline in the average retirement age, an older population structure, higher education levels, and higher incomes. This industry has produced many exciting projects in recent years and has a number of promising works currently under development. The Province offers many unique opportunities for location shoots with scenery and architecture similar to parts of Scandinavia, Ireland and many European cities.
