CanCon Regulations

CanCon regulations, short for Canadian Content regulations, are rules used in Canada to promote and support Canadian culture in media, including television, radio, and online platforms. These regulations require broadcasters to include a certain amount of content created by Canadians or that reflects Canadian experiences. The goal is to ensure that Canadian voices and stories are represented in the media landscape, fostering cultural identity and diversity. In practice, this means that shows, music, and films must meet specific criteria to count as Canadian content, thereby benefiting local artists and creators.
