Introduction

The Department of Canadian Heritage is pleased to present the 2019 Government of Canada Survey of Heritage Institutions. The survey captures financial and operating data on not-for-profit art galleries, museums, historic sites, archives, zoos and botanical gardens in Canada for the 2017 data year. In addition to being the fourth iteration of the survey, this one also marks the activities during Canada 150, the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation.

The survey is conducted to provide aggregate data to all levels of government, heritage stakeholders and the public, in order to gain a better understanding of not-for-profit heritage institutions and to aid in the development of national and provincial/territorial policies and programs. The results from this sample survey are extrapolated to provide national and provincial/territorial estimates for the approximately 2700 not-for-profit heritage institutions across the country.

The 2019 survey captured data from 1817 heritage institutions and sites, which is approximately 67% of the entire not-for-profit heritage sector (including 95% of those with operating budgets of $1 million or more). This latest data will allow all levels of governments, and heritage stakeholders to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the heritage sector.

The survey has a number of core indicators that are always measured (i.e. revenue sources, number of visits etc.), though as in previous years, there is a segment of the survey that is allocated to capturing new information on operational activities and timely subject matter. This portion of the survey uses a rotational series (i.e. capture certain questions only once, or every third/fourth survey) allowing more questions overtime, while reducing survey fatigue. In 2017, the survey collected 2015 data on gender, age, visible minorities and distribution of careers throughout the heritage workforce. It also collected 2017 data on the state of heritage buildings and their capital infrastructure and any future planned building or capital infrastructure projects. The latest 2019 survey utilized this segment to capture a record of Indigenous cultural artefacts and ancestral remains located in heritage institutions across the country.

(Note: The 2015 data has been slightly revised for greater accuracy. In particular, data for archives is now weighted to better reflect the operations of Library and Archives Canada, in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. The newly revised data is included in this report, allowing for accurate comparison of each data year. Only the revised data available in this report should be used for year over year comparison).

Highlights

Revenue and expenditures

Not-for-profit heritage institutions in Canada generated over $2.6 billion in revenue in 2017, a 5% increase from 2015.

The four provinces that accounted for most of the sector’s revenues were Ontario at $890.4 million (34%), Quebec at $776.1 million (30%), Alberta at $269.6 million (10%) and British Columbia at $263.6 million (10%).

Considering the types of heritage institutions, museums generated the majority of revenue in the sector, contributing over $1.1 billion (45%) in 2017, followed by art galleries at $498.6 million (19%), archives at $377.3 million (14%), zoos and botanical gardens at $356.9 million (14%), and historic sites at $218.6 million (8%).

Unearned revenue accounted for $1.7 billion (67%) of total revenue for all heritage institutions in 2017; an increase from 2015 where unearned revenues accounted for $1.6 billion (64%). The majority of unearned revenue comes from government funding, equal to 51.7% of total revenue. All three levels of government increased their spending in 2017 to collectively contribute nearly $1.4 billion to the sector, an increase of approximately $100 million (8%) in funding over 2015. Donations from the private sector amounted to $354.9 million (13.5% of total revenue) in 2017, a marked increase from the $312.9 million donated in 2015. The remaining portion of unearned revenue comes in the form of interest and investments, which increased from approximately $35.7 million in 2015 to $38.9 million (1.4% of total revenue) in 2017.

Earned revenue accounted for $869.2 million (33%) of all revenue for heritage institutions in 2017, a 3% decrease from 2015 when earned revenue accounted for $896.7 million (36%) of all revenue. This slight decrease is mainly attributed to a drop in fundraising revenues across the heritage sector. The majority of earned revenue in 2017 is derived from admission fees, which accounted for $270.4 million (10%) of all revenue, closely followed by sales of goods and services including gift shops, cafeterias and other outlets, at $268.7 million (10%).

The Canada 150 celebrations saw a number of heritage institutions opt to forego charging admissions to their sites and facilities. For example, none of the national historic sites operated by the Government of Canada charged admission. The survey data shows that approximately 54% of all heritage institutions did not charge admissions fees in 2017, up from previous years where the base level for institutions not charging an admission has generally been 50%. For the remaining 46% that did charge in 2017, the average admission fee for an adult was $10.38, a slight increase from 2015 when the average fee was $9.91.

Overall, heritage sector operating costs in 2017 reached $2.4 billion, an increase of approximately $92.5 million (4%) from 2015. Compensation and wages represent the majority of the sector’s costs, approximately $1.0 billion (43%) of all expenditures (data on compensation and wages does not include services rendered by volunteers). The subsequent major expenses in the sector include other operating expenses ($365.3 million or 15%), occupancy costs ($249.4 million or 10%), amortization of capital assets ($246.4 million or 10%), and cost of all purchased supplies ($225.0 million or 9%).

The heritage sector posted a modest revenue over expenditure of 5.3% ($139.7 million) in 2017. It is the few larger institutions that account for most of this net revenue, as the survey data shows that approximately 59% of all heritage institutions only had a net revenue of $5,000 or less for all of 2017. In fact, nearly 40% of all institutions reported a net loss.

Employment

The heritage sector employed over 37,200 people in 2017, an increase of approximately 1,850 (5%) from the 2015 employment figures. Part-time employment comprised the bulk of the heritage work force, numbering nearly 19,980 (54%); this segment of the work force also had the highest number of new employees (981) since 2015. Full-time employees numbered roughly 13,000, an increase of 758 from 2015, while contract workers totalled 4,260, an increase of 110 employees over the same time span.

The 2015 data on workforce demographics and distribution of occupations collected in the previous survey have been slightly revised and are included in this report.

Volunteers

The latest data shows that the heritage sector continues to rely heavily on volunteers to help achieve their mandates. Volunteers play a roll in all aspects of heritage institutions across the country, from visitor engagement and programing, to facilities maintenance, conservation and even management as nearly 20% of heritage institutions have indicated they are solely run by volunteers. There were over 114,400 volunteers in 2017, up 5% from 2015. Volunteers outnumbered all paid employees by 3 to 1, essentially making up 75% of the heritage workforce. For museums the ratio is nearly 4 to 1, or 79% of the workforce. The distribution of volunteers also varies across the country. For example, Saskatchewan has the highest percentage of volunteers, making up approximately 90% of their heritage work force.

Volunteer hours also increased in 2017, with volunteers contributing approximately 6 million hours. Without diminishing the qualitative impact of volunteers in the heritage sector, from a strictly quantitative perspective, 6 million volunteer hours equates to approximately 2,885 full-time equivalent positions. If we apply only the minimum wage salary to that equation (in 2017, the average minimum wage in Canada was approximately $11.41) it would total nearly $68.5 million worth of services provided. The contribution of volunteers to the heritage sector remains enormous.

Attendance and membership

The Canada 150 celebrations brought a record number of visits to heritage institutions across the country in 2017. There were over 79 million physical visits, a 10% increase from the 71.6 million visits in 2015. The bulk of these visits were to museums, topping 36.1 million, followed by historic sites with 17 million, and art galleries with 13.2 million. Zoos and botanical gardens saw 9.7 million physical visit, and archives 2.7 million. From a provincial and territorial perspective, the majority of visits were received in Quebec, with over 26.7 million to all heritage institutions, followed by Ontario at 19.6 million, British Columbia at 9.5 million and Alberta at 8.2 million.

Online visits to heritage institutions also reached record numbers, with many organizations providing access to online material and virtual experiences. Online visits totalled approximately 254 million in 2017, a considerable increase of 29% over 2015. The majority of online visits were to Museums (126 million), archives (54.6 million) and art galleries (47 million). Museums and art galleries continue to experience the largest growth of online visits, up 29.3 million (30%) and 12.5 million (36%) respectively since 2015. Ontario was the province the with most online visits, reaching 112.7 million, followed by Quebec with 62.7 million, British Columbia with 34 million and Alberta with 14.5 million.

Museums and other heritage institutions play a key role in providing educational programs. These institutions are constantly designing and updating their programs to support the learning objectives of school curriculums at each level. School boards across the country recognize the important learning opportunities they offer, lending to the increase in attendance of school groups year after year. In 2017, the number of school groups visiting heritage institutions reached over 127,280 (approximately 6.4 million visits by students); up 7% or 433,000 student visits over 2015. Museums were the most frequented type of institution by school groups (63%), followed by art galleries (17%) and historic sites (11%). While school group visits were up overall in 2017, archives and art galleries experienced slight decreases of 8.5% and 1.7% respectively.

Just as heritage institutions have seen an overall increase in all physical and online visits, so to has there been an overall increase in memberships. Memberships grew by more than 250,660 (16%), reaching over 1.7 million members in 2017. This indicates that nearly 5% of the Canadian population is a member of a museum or other type of heritage institution (Note: Statistics Canada data indicates that the population in Canada was 36.5 million in 2017. CANSIM table 17-10-0005-01). Museums had the highest subscription of members totalling over 872,350 and registered the largest growth in new members since 2015 (up 37%). Art galleries had 464,153 members (up 1%), and zoos and botanical gardens had 228,327 members, registering a slight decrease in memberships (down 4%).

Indigenous cultural artefacts and ancestral remains

This year, the survey segment that captures new information on operational activities and timely subject matter focused on the number of Indigenous cultural artefacts (not including contemporary art or other contemporary material) and ancestral remains (includes partial and fragment remains) housed in heritage institutions.

Overall, roughly 26% of heritage institutions reported that they house Indigenous cultural artefacts. The survey data indicates that there are approximately 6.7 million Indigenous cultural artefacts in heritage institutions across the country (eight of the largest institutions in Canada with archaeological collections care for 94% of these items), with the majority located in Ontario (2.1 million), Quebec (2 million), Manitoba (2 million) and British Columbia (nearly 310,000). Almost 70% or 4.7 million Indigenous cultural artefacts are cared for by Museums, while nearly 30% or 2 million are cared for by historic sites.

1.3% of heritage institutions reported that their facilities house Indigenous ancestral remains. In total, there are an estimated 2,500 ancestral remains, including partial and fragment remains, that are preserved in heritage institutions (three museums care for 75% of all ancestral remains within the heritage sector). The majority are located in British Columbia and Ontario, 1,176 and 1,129 respectively.

Exhibitions

In recognition of Canada’s 150th anniversary, heritage institutions provided numerous new exhibitions to domestic and international visitors, highlighting stories of history and culture in different parts of the country. The number of newly created exhibitions increased to more than 8,940 in 2017, up approximately 7% from 2015; a continuing trend over the years. The bulk of new exhibitions were created by museums (52%), followed by art galleries (29%) and archives (9%). Another trend is the decrease of permanent exhibitions displayed in heritage institutions. Permanent exhibitions totalled approximately 15,290 overall in 2017, a decrease of 331 from 2015. The vast majority of permanent exhibitions are held in museums (79%), historic sites (9%) and art galleries (4%).

More than 3,120 exhibitions were circulated across the country in 2017. Museums continue to circulate the majority of exhibitions (49%), followed by art galleries (29%) and archives (13%).

Heritage institutions continue to develop and increase virtual access to their exhibitions. The number of online exhibitions for 2017 reached nearly 3,560, an increase of 235 or 7% over 2015. Archives continue to have the bulk of online exhibitions (45%), followed by museums (36%) and art galleries (12%). Archives also had the highest number of new online exhibitions, since 2015, up by 114, making up nearly half of all new online exhibitions overall.

Research requests

Heritage institutions frequently provide all sorts of information to academics, researchers and the public alike. In 2017, heritage institutions demonstrated that they remain a trusted source for research and education, as they responded to over 1.1 million research requests, an overall increase of 10,000 from 2015. Archives was the only institution type to experience a slight decrease from 2015, though it continues to receive the majority of requests, with over 791,850 (70% of all requests) in 2017, followed by museums, with 183,822 (16% of all requests) and art galleries, with 109,451 (10% of all requests). At the provincial and territorial level, the bulk of research requests were to institutions in Quebec (41%), Ontario (37%) and British Columbia (7%).

Heritage buildings and capital infrastructure

More than half (55%) of all institutions reported that their facilities are in good or very good condition with 22% indicating that their facilities are very good and fit for the future. 31% of all institutions responded that conditions are less than adequate and require attention, while 7% say their facilities are approaching end of service life or are unfit for sustained service. Approximately 7% of respondents were either not sure, or indicated that the question did not apply.

When looking at the data by province/territory, institutions in the Atlantic Provinces seem to fair well, with the majority of their institutions indicating they are either good, or very good and fit for the future (70% in Prince Edward Island, 69% in Newfoundland and Labrador, and 63% in New Brunswick). On the other hand, the territories, Manitoba and British Columbia reported having the highest percentage of buildings and other capital infrastructure that are less than adequate, 56%, 44% and 39% respectively.

Overall, approximately 72% of heritage institutions indicated they were planning to undertake some sort nof infrastructure project over the next three years. Of those, approximately 20% of institutions stated that they were constructing a new facility or expanding their existing one and approximately 43% are planning to improve their current facility (i.e. improve visitor flow, accessibility, storage, curatorial spaces, etc.). Nearly 35% were planning improvements to their facility’s physical plant (i.e. HVAC, lighting, etc.), and approximately 48% plan to make improvements to visitor experience (i.e. displays and exhibits). The remaining 28% of institutions indicated that they are not planning to undertake any infrastructure upgrades (15%), or did not know/did not apply (14%).

Data sources, methods and definitions

Reference period

The 2017 calendar year or in some cases the corresponding 12 month fiscal period for 2017-18, depending on the method of operation by the institution surveyed.

Collection period

March 11, 2019 through to March 31, 2019.

Description

The survey collects financial and operating data required to gain a better understanding of not-for-profit heritage institutions in Canada and to help develop national and regional policies and programs.

This data is aggregated to produce official estimates of the national and provincial economic production along with the cultural civic role of all heritage institutions in Canada. Data from the Government of Canada Survey of Heritage Institutions, together with revenue and expenditure data from the Canada Revenue Agency, contributes to the accurate measurement of national and provincial economic and social activities.

Target population

The target population consists of not-for-profit establishments classified as heritage institutions in accordance to the definition of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Institutions surveyed include archives (519122), non-commercial art museums and galleries, (712111), history and science museums (712115), other museums (712119), historic and heritage sites (712120), as well as zoos and botanical gardens (712130).

The survey captures publically and privately owned heritage institutions whose purpose is to preserve, interpret and provide public access to its artefacts, documents, specimens, buildings and sites of cultural and educational value. These can include historical, artistic, scientific, technological, as well as objects of natural history.

Data sources

The Government of Canada Survey of Heritage Institutions data comes primarily from two sources.

  1. Revenues, expenditures and heritage sector characteristics data (i.e. visits, employment numbers, research requests, etc.) from an online survey administered by the Department of Canadian Heritage;
  2. Revenues and expenditures data from the Canada Revenue Agency’s Registered Charity Information Return (T3010 information return).

Sampling

This is a sample survey with a cross sectional design. A cross sectional design is aimed at determining certain attributes at a particular point in time. In this case it is for heritage institutions in 2017

The sampling frame consists of a list of not-for-profit institutions eligible for surveying. All institutions from the sampling frame are confirmed to be eligible for surveying. The frame offers information about each institution including address, industry classification and information from administrative data sources.

The surveys main objective is to produce estimates for the entire sector, which includes incorporated and unincorporated institutions. These include revenue and expenditure estimates as well as sector characteristic estimates.

The sample size for all institutions for reference year 2017 was 2,335 institutions.

The overall response rate from the emailed survey questionnaire was 44% (1,019 institutions).

Data captured through the Canadian Revenue Agency provided statistics on 1,410 institutions.

By merging the corresponding two sources, the Department of Canadian Heritage captured data on 1,817 institutions or 67% of the entire heritage sector (the entire heritage sector is comprised of approximately 2700 institutions).

Revision of preliminary data

The data provided in this report is considered preliminary and could be subject to future adjustment. All 2015 data as well as the 2017 data on heritage buildings and capital infrastructure, has been revised and is included in this report, allowing for accurate comparison of each data year. Only the revised data available in this report should be used for year over year comparisons.

Error detection

Non sample errors such as duplication, response inaccuracy caused by human error, reporting or coding of data to which a specific statistical analysis is exposed, is verified several times to ensure that systematic and random non sample errors are minimized. Data is checked and analysed for errors and irregularity. These checks look for reporting consistency such as section totals being equal to the components, identification of excessive or incorrect values, etc.

Quality evaluation

Prior to dissemination, combined survey results are analyzed for comparability. In general, this includes a detailed analysis of individual responses for each institution, historic trends and comparison with other data sources.

Imputation

Imputation can be used for any missing, invalid or inconsistent responses. Methods include:

Estimation and weighting

The survey data is weighted by institution type, geographical location and revenue bracket, and is combined with administrative data to produce final sector estimates. In instances where unweighted data is supressed in provincial tables by institution type and is instead replaced with an “X”, the unweighted data will be included in the national total figures and the provincial total figures.

Data accuracy

All efforts are made to ensure that all stages of collection and dissemination are done accurately. However, the final estimates are unavoidably subject to a certain degree of error. Data can be affected by two types of error: sampling error and non-sampling error.

Privacy

Canadian Heritage is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects which could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent. Information from this survey will be used for statistical purposes only and will be published only in aggregate form.
