As a result, the CAC recommends that the government expand eligible costs in programs that support digital activities, through the Canada Council for the Arts and Canadian Heritage, to include funding for acquiring the technology and equipment needed to record and distribute performances, and ensure that indigenous, racialized, the deaf and disabled, and other marginalized artists and arts organizations are enabled to engage in digital activities.
As well, ensure that funding for equipment through programs like the Canada cultural spaces fund is assessed and delivered in an expedited manner to help organizations, especially through the pandemic period.
