Here is how the CRTC has Officially Classified "Valour Road" and the remainder of the dozens of "Canadian Heritage Minutes" now called "Historica Foundation Minutes" as "Category 7 Drama and Comedy."
edit"Category 7 Drama and Comedy" is further defined word for word by the CRTC (Canadian Radio, Television Certification ) as Entertainment productions of a fictional nature, including dramatisations of real events. They must be comprised primarily of (i.e. more than 50%) dramatic performances. Category 7 includes the following subcategories:
- On-going dramatic series;
- On-going comedy series (sitcoms);
- Specials, mini-series, and made-for-TV feature films;
- Theatrical feature films aired on television;
- Animated television programs and films (excludes computer graphic productions without story lines);
- Programs of comedy sketches, improvisations, unscripted works, stand-up comedy; and
- Other drama, including, but not limited to, readings, narratives, improvisations, tapes/films of live theatre not developed specifically for television, experimental shorts, video clips, continuous action animation (e.g. puppet shows).
- Furthermore, the CRTC has also classified the "Heritage Minutes" as "Culturally Viable and Significant" to the cultural health of our nation" of Canada (not word for word, but author synopsis).
