Culture Days, a free event that invites the public to see what goes on behind the scenes in creating arts and culture in their own community, was initiated by four founding partners: the Canadian Arts Summit, Culture pour tous (producer of les Journées de la Culture), Canada Council for the Arts and the Banff Centre.
 
Other Culture Days events are taking place Sept. 24-26 in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
