“Although the outlook for recovery is changing and varies across the country, restrictions on large gatherings may persist for many months, and this may not change until a vaccine becomes widely available. This means that, in all likelihood, performing arts centres will re-open their doors while COVID-19 is still present in Canadian communities.

In response to these extraordinary circumstances, and to help lead the Canadian performing arts sector toward recovery, the National Arts Centre developed a series of tools for the re-opening of performing arts centres and venues. These tools were developed in collaboration with leaders from more than 40 performing arts organizations from across the country. We thank them for their expertise and perspectives, which have helped shape this project.”
