Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government will provide $500 million in support to the arts, culture and sports sectors through Heritage Canada.

Trudeau says those industries ``continue to make us dream, particularly in dark times.''

More details on the financial support are expected to be outlined today by Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault.
