Culture Days

Join thousands of Canadians this fall from September 30 - October 2 in the largest arts participation campaign ever undertaken!

Culture Days is a collaborative pan-Canadian volunteer movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities.

As the National Broadcast Partner of Culture Days, CBC/Radio-Canada will celebrate the art of broadcasting in its many forms - and in a variety of ways - throughout the week.
