The report accessed is very short and we could not find a definition of cultural participation.<br />
However it is implicit that the attitude on cultural and arts participation has evolved from the<br />
concept of personal refinement and elitist activities to the recognition of its contribution towards<br />
creativity and city image enhancement, recognising the importance of the arts and culture to a<br />
knowledge-based economy.<br />

This survey is based on the Canadian Framework for Culture Statistics, developed by Statistics<br />
Canada. The Canadian definition of cultural participation was typically one of balance, flexibility<br />
and compromise, were Sport is not included, nor is the broader definition of nature and the<br />
environment (other than nature parks with interpretation centres). Other domains such as<br />
advertising and new media are included as culture categories. The extent of inclusion of cultural<br />
equipment (such as blank videotapes, CD players, TV sets, musical instruments and artists’<br />
materials) continues to be the subject of much discussion.<br />
The framework for culture statistics is broken down into seven major functional elements including<br />
creation, production, preservation, manufacturing, distribution, support services and consumption.<br />
Consumption, which encompasses both active and passive participation was deemed as one of<br />
the essential elements. The fundamental points of information required for consumption include:<br />
the number and characteristics of persons who attend, watch, buy, listen to, read, use and do<br />
volunteer work in culture.<br />
