Nova Scotia Protests Arts Funding Cuts

Thousands gather in Halifax to protest government cuts to arts funding, fearing job losses and cultural erosion. The province plans to slash $130 million from grants, including the Publishers Assistance Program, to tackle a $1.2 billion deficit. Neptune Theatre alone expects a $150,000 hit, impacting hires and shows that draw 80,000 visitors annually. Rallies continue in nine other communities, with advocates insisting arts funding is crucial to Nova Scotias identity.
