IMPORTANT:
CUTS TO ARTS FUNDING
The Provincial Government has announced huge arts funding cuts, contained deep within the background papers produced for the September 1st Provincial Budget. The details are still emerging, but according to the NDP critic for Arts and Culture, Spencer Herbert, it amounts to a reduction of 50% for 2009/2010, with a further large reduction planned for 2010/2011. If this is correct, then seems likely that our future programs will have to suffer.
Thankfully, the Government have backed down on their pre-budget proposal to break the three year funding agreements for Gaming Grants, which they have with many not for profits, including Crimson Coast. They have now confirmed that these committments will be honoured in full.
You may want to contact your MLA, the media, as well as the Provincial Premier and senior Ministers, and tell them how you feel about the huge reductions in Provincial arts funding in the Budget, and how it will likely affect your life in "The Best Place on Earth".
