Reimbursement Assistance for Training-Related Expenses
- En Piste members in good standing* in the “Performer” or “Trainer, Coach, or Instructor” categories
- Who reside in Québec
- For expenses incurred in Québec
All three criteria must be met.
*Expenses incurred before your membership payment date are not eligible. Your membership must be valid at the time the expense is incurred. Example: If your expense took place in February but you paid your membership in March, the expense is not eligible.
Up to $800 (taxes included) per person per fiscal year (January 1 to December 31).
Reimbursements will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis until the budget is depleted.
The calendar is now quarterly:
1. January to March (closed: as the budget for the first quarter has been exhausted, it will no longer be possible to claim reimbursement for expenses incurred between January and March).
2. April to June (closed)
3. July to September (closed)
4. October to December (closed)
Details of second-quarter reimbursement will be announced shortly.
All expenses must be incurred in Québec and related to training.
- Expenses incurred before the En Piste membership is paid
(e.g., you become a member in November 2025, an expense from October 2025 is not eligible)
- Online training
- Expenses incurred outside Québec
- Expenses related to act or show creation (e.g., hiring an artistic director to develop an act)
- Equipment purchases
- Fees paid for En Piste training activities (this includes both group and individualized training)
- Expenses covered by another grant or subsidy (e.g., Services Québec, CALQ, CAM, or other funders)
Given the very high number of applications and the administrative work involved in offering the service, any incomplete application will be rejected.
