I wish the government would give us more money for arts in general. The funding we get/use is abysmal compared to other cities around us.

I've long thought that K and W both underspend wrt arts/culture..  I'm not sure whether the Region is any better.  Have you seen any stats that compare us to other Cdn cities?

I remember a regional report from several years ago said that our per-capita arts and culture funding was half that of Hamilton. Hamilton was the top per capita spender though, we were lower than average by 20-30%.

Hamilton's top spender status was $34/person/year, so it's really not a lot of money in the context of the local municipal budgets.
