Dear Members,<\/p>\n

It is so nice to see you all! It seems like many of us have been out and about this past month, and I am really enjoying meeting many of you at shows and events. If we cross paths anywhere, I encourage you to say hello, as I am always happy to meet our members and chat.<\/p>\n

One of the events I attended recently was Guy Rodger\u2019s movie What We Choose to Remember opening the Hudson Film Festival on a very hot day in May. It is an important, insightful and moving piece of work, and especially timely in light of the recent adoption of Bill 96. I encourage everyone to take the time to watch it<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we move forward under the newly adopted Bill 96, I encourage all English-speaking Quebecer\u2019s to learn what your rights are under the legislation, and be a part of the conversation in how it is going to be enforced. There are a lot of unanswered questions around this bill so even though it has passed, the advocacy work around it is not over.<\/p>\n

I also wanted to highlight the exciting new funding from the Quebec government for the arts and culture sector. ELAN translated the document that lays out government\u2019s plan and there is a lot of good news here for our community. Click here<\/strong> <\/a>to consult the translated document. Keep an eye on ELAN\u2019s social media and website as we will host a webinar with CALQ on this new funding at the end of June. Details TBC.<\/p>\n

Also, it is almost Fringe time I know we have all been waiting for this for ages \u2013 so get your comfy shoes, call in sick, and have fun!<\/p>\n

See you soon!<\/p>\n

Vanessa Herrick<\/strong>
\nExecutive Director<\/p>\n
