Orchestras Matter! Canada's orchestras make a difference to our communities, large and small, across the country, and the world

Advocacy Leave-Behind Document

As part of our advocacy work, we’ve prepared a leave-behind document, useful for meetings with federal and provincial members of parliament, or indeed for any meeting where you’re hoping to demonstrate the value of orchestras to a decision-maker. This document also highlights some key facts about orchestras in Canada, and summarizes our four most recent recommendations to the federal Standing Committee on Finance.

Please note that the Orchestras Canada office will close for the holidays on Tuesday, 23 December 2025, and re-open on the morning of Friday, 2 January 2026. Happy holidays!

L'équipe d'OC sera déconnectée à partir de la fin de la journée du mardi 23 décembre 2025 et sera de retour au bureau le vendredi 2 janvier 2026. Joyeuses fêtes!
