SCALE-LeSAUT has released its 2026 federal pre-budget submission calling on the Government of Canada to recognize arts and culture as essential climate infrastructure – not peripheral programming.
Museums are among the few public places that still carry social trust. If they stop pretending “sustainability” is compatible with business-as-usual growth and start telling the truth, convening difficult conversations, and building practical capability, they can help communities face disruption with dignity. If not, they’ll drift into irrelevance, ever more polished and ever less helpful.
That’s the hinge of the book. Not “How do we keep growing?” but “How do we become useful?”
SCALE is proud to announce the launch of a bold, 18-month initiative that positions c\a\n\a\d\a’s arts and culture sector as an active contributor to climate solutions. Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and delivered in collaboration with national partners CARFAC, IMAA, ARCA, and PACT, the initiative will build the tools, knowledge, and partnerships needed to embed climate action across the sector.
