• Attended live performances;
• Visited art galleries and other museums;
• Visited historic sites and other heritage organizations;

• Watched movies or videos; or
• Listened to recorded music.

Some of the report’s key findings include:

• In most provinces, as in Canada as a whole, most cultural and heritage activities attracted about the same percentage of the population in 2005 as in 1992. Provinces in this situation include Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
• Given the strong population growth in most provinces between 1992 and 2005, almost all cultural and heritage activities saw an increase in the absolute number of provincial residents attending, visiting, reading, watching or listening.
• Reading, music and movies are among the most popular cultural and heritage activities in all provinces.
• British Columbia and Ontario are the only provinces where a heritage activity – visiting a conservation area or nature park – attracted at least half of the population in 2005.
• Contrary to the national trend, many cultural and heritage activities attracted a smaller percentage of British Columbians in 2005 than in 1992.
• In Ontario, many cultural and heritage activities attracted a larger percentage of residents in 2005 than in 1992, including cultural/heritage performances (such as Aboriginal dance, Chinese opera, or Ukrainian dance), museums, public art galleries, historic sites, book reading, movies and videos.
• In Quebec, as in Ontario, many cultural and heritage activities attracted a larger percentage of residents in 2005 than in 1992, including cultural/heritage performances (such as Aboriginal dance, Chinese opera, or Ukrainian dance), museums, public art galleries, historic sites, conservation areas or nature parks, movies, videos and music on CD or other pre-recorded formats.
• Movie-going is particularly popular in Quebec. In fact, Quebec is the only province where more people go to movies than read books. In addition, Quebec is the only province where movie-going is within 10 percentage points of video-watching.
