The Ministry of Tourism and Culture plays a central role in building the province's pride and economic prosperity. The Ministry provides leadership for two fast-growing sectors of the provincial economy which are fundamental to the quality of life of Ontario citizens as well as magnets for international visitors and partners.
Working with the tourism sector, the Ministry helps stimulate economic growth and community development, and creates an environment that allows Ontario to compete successfully in the rapidly changing world of travel and leisure. Working with the culture community and other partners, the Ministry provides leadership in fostering a dynamic cultural environment in Ontario, championing a prosperous creative economy, vibrant, liveable communities and stewardship of heritage assets.
The Ontario Seniors' Secretariat advocates for, undertakes and supports policy initiatives that improve the quality of life of Ontario seniors and public education efforts for and about Ontario seniors.
