The 2023 federal budget provided an extension of the additional funding for the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage (BCAH) program, but not for the Canada Arts Presentation Fund (CAPF). Unless the government makes a change, CAPF clients will see their funding drop by an average of 23%.
The performing arts sector needs predictable and increased support from the federal government. Not funding cuts!
Recommendations have been drafted and endorsed by over twenty industry associations.
For information about the recommendations and about how you can participate during National Action Week, visit their website for resources, templates and updates. https://capacoa.ca/en/future-of-live/
