Calendar
This calendar will be of particular interest to presenting organizations in search of new Indigenous talent, as well as to the tourism sector, by aggregating and centralizing event data for Indigenous performances across Canada, filling an important gap in the performing arts sector by providing a single source for event data featuring Indigenous performers.
If you represent a performing arts organization interested in having your events featured on this calendar, you can reach out to CAPACOA’s Indigenous Librarian at Gary.Mandin@capacoa.ca.
Additional Resources
Upon working with Denise Bolduc, curator of The UNcommon Wealth at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, we felt it was important to share online resources about Canadian Indigenous history and advocacy.
This is not an exhaustive list and we will continue updating this page as more information is collected. If you have any suggestions or additions for this list of Indigenous resources, please reach out to us.
