About Us
Culture and Community Spirit provides a broad range of programs that support a high quality of life and are valued by Albertans. Support to Alberta's arts and cultural industries enhances the lives of all Albertans and helps to attract and retain the creative and skilled knowledge workers Alberta needs to ensure continued prosperity.
Quality of life is further supported through programs that provide financial assistance to communities, the non-profit/voluntary sector, the arts, film and heritage. The preservation and presentation of Alberta's historical resources is realized through the Provincial Archives of Alberta and world renowned museums and historic sites across the province.
Albertans also benefit from human rights legislation that protects them from discrimination and promotes fairness and full participation in the social, economic and cultural life of the province.
The Ministry consists of the department and agencies, boards and commissions that report directly to the Minister including:
- Alberta Foundation for the Arts
- Alberta Historical Resources Foundation
- Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission
- Government House Foundation

- Human Rights, Citizenship and Multiculturalism Education Fund
