The Culture Capital Program preserves and enhances Ontario's investment in cultural infrastructure. The Ministry works in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism to manage the cultural infrastructure development commitments of the province's $300 million, capital infrastructure initiative - the Sports, Culture and Tourism Partnership program.
