Creative BC brings a strategic and integrated approach to the growth and development of British Columbia’s creative sector. The independent agency was created and supported by the provincial government to sustain and help grow B.C.’s creative industries, which are defined as those generating original storytelling content for mass production, global distribution, and consumption: book and magazine publishing, interactive and digital media, motion picture, and music and sound recording.

Creative BC acts as an industry catalyst and ambassador to help B.C.’s creative sector reach its economic, social, environmental, and creative potential both at home and globally. The agency delivers a wide range of programs and services with a mandate to expand B.C.’s creative economy. These activities include administration of the provincial government’s motion picture tax credit programs, delivery of program funding and export marketing support for the sector, and provincial film commission services. Combined, these activities serve to attract inward investment and market B.C. as a partner and destination of choice for domestic and international content creation.
