The Government of Canada is committed to supporting the recovery of the arts and culture sector, which has been among the hardest hit sectors throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of renewed shutdowns and public health restrictions due to the emergence of the Omicron variant have been particularly severe for the live performance sector, negatively affecting the livelihoods of the artists, technicians and other skilled cultural workers who bring live performances to stages across the country. The Government continues to stand by these talented workers through these challenging times.
The purpose and objective of the Canada Performing Arts Workers Resilience Fund (CPAWRF) is to:
- retain Canadian skilled workers through a temporary program that invests in sector-led and delivered initiatives which improve the economic, career, and personal circumstances of independent and self-employed workers in the live performance sector.
The expected results of the CPAWRF are to:
- Fund organizations to provide programs and services to independent and self-employed workers in the live performance sector;
- Enable as many workers in this sector as possible to access programs and services; and
- Improve or stabilize employment levels for workers in the sector.
The CPAWRF is a temporary funding program for fiscal year 2022-2023.
