The September 2007 edition of the Canadian Economic Observer (http://www.statcan.ca/bsolc/english/bsolc?catno=11-010-X200700910332) Published by Statistics Canada, contains the article 'From Road to Rinks: Government Spending on Infrastructure in Canada, 1961 to 2005'. This report examines spending on government-owned infrastructure, including cultural infrastructure. A key conclusion of the report is that recent growth in spending on various types of infrastructure "has not been strong enough to prevent more and more signs of wear in our infrastructure".
Although the report only briefly touches on cultural infrastructure, Arts Research Monitor Volume 6, no 6, Nov 2007 examines the study's detailed tables in more depth. The tables in the report show that the value of cultural infrastructure, which includes public libraries, historical sites, museums and theatres, accounts for only 2% of all government-owned infrastructure in Canada. About four-fifths of this cultural infrastructure is owned by local governments.
