Artists and Cultural Workers in Montréal and in Canada

A important study prepared by Hill Strategies Research for the Ville de Montréal and also for the cities of Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Ottawa and based on 2006 census data.

This report provides an analysis of artists residing in various postal regions – “neighbourhoods” – in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver in 2006. The report is the fruit of and funded by a ground-breaking collaboration between cultural staff at the five large cities. The collaboration was made possible because of the work of the Creative City Network of Canada. The study is based on a custom data request from Statistics Canada’s 2006 census, commissioned by Hill Strategies Research. The report includes statistics concerning the number of artists, their earnings, education levels, sex and changes between 2001 and 2006.
