Press Release

National culture indicators, third quarter 2023

Real gross domestic product (GDP) for the combined culture and sport sectors in Canada fell 1.3% in the third quarter. This was the first decrease in real GDP for the sectors since the second quarter of 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the decline in the third quarter of 2023 was larger than the 0.3% decrease seen for the total economy in the same quarter, the difference is driven mostly by an exceptional decline in the film and video subdomain. On a nominal basis, GDP for the combined culture and sport sectors was down 0.6% in the third quarter.
