Students lose out on arts and culture

Radio-Canada reports that the city arts council wants the arts to have a more prominent voice in the city’s culture. For some reason the first project mentioned is a junket to South Korea, but I know arts administrators have their little ways.

Meantime, Le Devoir reports on budget cuts in education mean that, as of next year, the budget for school field trips and artist visits has been halved. But even before this is to happen, schools have been limiting such extra elements to save money.

Sonia LeBel, who’s been mentioned as a possible successor to François Legault, had someone intone that “Quebec culture will always remain an important element of the school curriculum.” How’s that going to work?
