The future of live performance depends first and foremost on the artists and cultural workers who make up this sector. That being said, our work would simply not have anywhere the same scale or the same impact were it not for the support of the federal government.

CAPACOA, Festivals and Major Events, the Canadian Live Music Association, and RIDEAU invite you to a virtual meeting to take stock of the #FutureOfLIVE campaign in light of the 2023 federal budget. At the time of convening this meeting, we don’t yet know if the federal budget will be a cause for celebration or a call to roll up our sleeves. Either way, this town hall meeting will be relevant and necessary to talk through it, together.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday, April 3 at 4:00 p.m. (EDT).

• Frédéric Julien, Director of Research and Development, CAPACOA
