Live Arts is CRUCIAL to our economic recovery, job creation AND mental health! Yet, Doug Ford reopening plan continues to leave them behind. Built on the sector's voices, @ChrisGloverMPP and I have written letters to the gov't in support. #onpoli #COVID19 #FairnessForArtsON 1/

.Lisa MacLeod next up, REHEARSALS must be included in stage 1 of your govt’s roadmap. If sports teams can practice, WHY can’t live performers? Performing arts does not come together overnight as you seem to think. They need a RUNWAY to re-opening!

That’s my film!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t dim your light! Let us shine for all to see. Feeling honoured and emotional and it’s not even release day! 🤯😭😭😭😭

The Ontario Government “Roadmap to Reopening” is a dead-end for the #performingarts. I demand #FairnessForArtsON: Reopen rehearsals in Step 1. Allow filming in performance spaces in Step 1. Set capacity limits based on square footage. The #arts are an essential part of my #Ontario.
