Thank you.
The final recommendation would be to destigmatize the return of large gatherings. I think we look to our elected officials for guidance about when it is safe to return to arts activities and to gatherings, so it's imperative that the government launch a comprehensive marketing, communications and PR strategy that alleviates the fear and stigma many Canadians will feel upon a return to social events. We need a message of positivity, of respect and of kindness, as many need help getting out of that rabbit hole of the deepest, darkest depths of despair.
We will get through this together. I am here and I stand with all my colleagues in the arts sector, including actors, dancers, singers, technicians, musicians, and so on.
