METRONOME will benefit all those with an interest in the future of music in Canada. Canadian cultural industries are experiencing increasing challenges and need to become bold and innovative. METRONOME CANADA will unite and integrate the Canadian music industry and like the fashion and financial districts, create a centre to strengthen the industry's infrastructure. It will be a dramatic international icon to promote Canadian music worldwide. PricewaterhouseCoopers estimate METRONOME CANADA will create 59 full-time jobs, 98 part-time jobs, 498 person-years in construction employment and that no public funding will be required for its operation.
