CLMA Submission to Federal Tourism Growth Strategy, August 2022

The Sound of Recovery: Leveraging the Economic, Social and Cultural Value and Power of Live Music

Hiring Senior Strategic Initiatives and Project Manager

Dialogue on how to rebuild our cultural sectors, the jobs that depend on them and how to bring back audiences and visitors is urgently needed, right now.

In the Federal Pre-Budget Submission, the CLMA asks the Canadian government to continue to acknowledge and support live music as an integral component of the country’s economic recovery.

The Canadian Live Music Association’s 7th Annual General Meeting was held on Tuesday, September 21st. The AGM was an opportunity to take a look back at one of the most difficult years in the history of Canada's live music sector as well as welcome incoming board leadership.

The study is designed to quantify the impact and representation of the live music community in Canada, and examine the challenges and barriers that impede IBPOC participation within the industry. The study’s findings and recommendations will inform the development of an industry-wide action plan to implement more inclusive practices nationwide.

The sectors we represent across all regions of Ontario include hotels and accommodations, resorts, restaurants, food and beverage vendors, live events, attractions, recreation, transport operators, and culture and heritage
