Ontario Arts Council | Conseil des arts de l'Ontario’s Post

As December winds down, I've been reflecting on the incredible year I've had working with Ontario Arts Council | Conseil des arts de l'Ontario. I was able to connect with so many vibrant communities across the northern parts of the province thanks to this work. I met so many artists and organizations doing phenomenal work and learned so much. A highlight of my year was making a trip to Bearskin Lake First Nation in May. It was my first ever trip to a remote, fly-in community. I traveled with many other funders thanks to a connection made with the Community Development Wrap-Around Initiative through Indigenous Services Canada. Together we got to know the community and shared a little about how our organizations can support the incredible work taking place in Bearskin Lake. So grateful to be doing this work and look forward to seeing what next year brings.
