Today, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the NaAC @AccessArtsCA proudly announced a $1.5 million, three-year investment from @TD_Canada in support of our programs across Canada - the largest investment TD has made in Western Canada, and the largest corporate investment in the history of disability arts in this country. To mark this historic milestone, we were pleased to host senior leaders from across TD in Calgary, including Robert Ghazal, Senior Vice President and Region Head for Alberta; Michelle Mobarrez, District Vice President; Sandy Janjua, District Vice President; Kayleah Jansen, District Vice President; Sarah Kramer, District Vice President; Curtis Sands, District Vice President and Member of the NaAC's Board of Directors; and Blake Heynen, Manager, Community Engagement. We were also joined by the Honourable Lois Mitchell, the NaAC's Honorary Patron and 18th Lieutenant Governor of Alberta. This investment comes at a pivotal moment for our organization, as we scale our operations, begin our move to our new accessible arts campus in Calgary, and deliver projects with true national reach and impact. Through the NaAC’s training and creation platforms, new artists’ careers will be launched - and Canada’s arts and culture landscape will be stronger and more diverse because of it. Thank you, TD. accessarts.ca/news/td/
