Canadian Dance Assembly (CDA) and Regroupement québécois de la danse (RQD) hosts with guests from Canada Council for the Arts to support your access to the flow of funding streams.

1. Provide context for the new Canada Council for the Arts operations.
2. Explain the 50/50 split of funds for operating and project support.
3. Note the end of increases to the Canada Council for the Arts budget.

5. Understand why there is no feedback after decisions are made and explain the types of support available.
6. Take stock of the support that is available or being considered for emerging companies that are not supported operationally but have significant operating costs.
