Manitoba Sport, Culture, Heritage and Tourism (French: Sport, Culture, et Patrimoine; formerly Manitoba Sport, Culture and Heritage and Manitoba Culture, Heritage, Tourism and Sport)[6] is the department of the Government of Manitoba responsible for managing government programs and services that support the sport, art, culture, and heritage of the province, through developing, supporting, promoting, and celebrating the identity and well-being of Manitoba and its communities.[7]
More specifically, sport refers both to the fitness and well-being for individuals as well as to the uniting of people in the spirit of competition and community pride; culture reflects the "societal values and shared humanity" within Manitoba; and heritage represents the history of Manitoba and its relation to the province's present and future.[8]
The department is overseen by the Minister of Sport, Culture, Heritage and Tourism, who has been Glen Simard since his appointment in October 2023.[9][3]
