The Canada Council's origin story : how did this distinctive arts council model come to be? Has it stood the test of time? -- The past as prologue : from the roots of culture to the power of art : the model evolved but the mandate endures -- The Canada Council and the changing face(s) of art : from "the disciplines" to inter-arts, equity, Aboriginal arts, and beyond -- Too close or too far for comfort? The Canada Council as crown corporation : leadership, money, and navigating political and bureaucratic waters -- A seat at the table : the Canada Council as more than arts grantmaker.
