The annual report is submitted in accordance with the obligation as a category three entity under the Transparency and Accountability Act, prepared under the direction of the Board, which is accountable for the actual results reported. Sincerely, Stan Hill Chair 1 OVERVIEW Background The NLAC is a non-profit Crown Agency created in 1980 by the Arts Council Act. Its mission is to foster and promote the creation and enjoyment of the arts for the benefit of all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. A volunteer board of 13 people appointed by government, reflecting regional representation of the province, governs the Council. Council members serve on a volunteer basis for a three-year term. There is five full-time staff (three male/ two female) employed by the Arts Council. As a Crown Agency, the NLAC operates at arm's-length from the Provincial Government. The primary function of the NLAC is to develop and administer grant programs for professional artists and arts organizations, community groups and schools. Currently the NLAC achieves this through seven funding programs: 1. Sustaining Program for Professional Arts Organizations 2. Annual Operating Program for Professional Arts Organizations 3. Professional Project Grants Program 4. Community Arts Program 5. Professional Artists’ Travel Fund 6. School Touring Program 7. ArtsSmarts The NLAC also initiates partnerships with the business community and other funding agencies; produces an annual arts awards show designed to honour the accomplishments of Newfoundland and Labrador artists; and manages the BMO Winterset Award, the Lawrence Jackson Writing Award and the Rhonda Payne Theatre Award.

    APPENDIX E Review of Economic and Employment Data from the Community Accounts Dataset Review of Economic and Employment Data from the Community Accounts Dataset Wade Locke Department of Economics Memorial University St. John's, NL 10 March 2016 The Community Accounts1 dataset provides provincial data in a number of formats — the most convenient one for geographic referencing and one that most closely conforms to the Panel’s mandate is the Community Accounts: Local Area dataset.2 A review of this data on the Community Accounts website reveals that there are six Local Area datasets encompassed by the term Western Newfoundland. These Local Areas are referred to by the Community Accounts as follows: 1. Local Area 37: Stephenville-Port au Port Peninsula,3 which was the primary focus of the Panel’s economic analysis, 2. Local Area 36: St. George’s area,4 3. Local Area 38: Deer Lake – Cormack area,5 4. Local Area 39: Corner Brook – Pasadena area,6 5. Local Area 40: Bay of Islands,7 and 6. Local Area 70: Bonne Bay Area.8 While the primary focus of the economic analysis was centered around the Stephenville-Port au Port local area (i.e., Local Area 37) and most of the local impacts are expected to occur within that area, a brief socioeconomic context is provided for all six regions that would normally be considered as part of Western Newfoundland. This statistical analysis should provide the reader with both a better appreciation of the responses received from Western Newfoundland in the MQO public opinion survey commissioned by the Panel9 and the significance of the estimated potential economic impacts for the local impact area.
