"When the COVID-19 pandemic began, Ontario's heritage, sport, tourism and culture industries were among the first and hardest hit. They will take the longest to recover but are vital to the economic and social fabric of our province," said MacLeod. "Through Ontario Creates, our government is creating opportunities for our culture sector partners to thrive and contribute to our double bottom line - the financial bottom line of the province, as well as the equally important bottom line of our cultural fabric and identity."
