Today, we are launching a second survey to update our data on the pandemic’s impacts on the circus arts sector and to identify the necessary measures for the recovery of our activities and the sustainability of our community. This survey is for both individuals and companies.
Last April, 561 people responded to a first survey, lending great credibility to our advocacy efforts, which led, among other things, to obtaining one-time assistance of $10 million from the Quebec Ministry of Culture and Communications.
Even though measures are already in place and structuring projects are underway to support our sector during this unprecedented crisis, the challenges and needs remain numerous. Data collection is fundamental to effectively represent you in the coming months. In this context, it is essential to conduct a new assessment of the situation.
Having spoken with many of you, we know how difficult the situation is for a vast majority. Your participation is therefore crucial to support us in our advocacy efforts. We are counting on you to participate in large numbers. Please do not hesitate to share the survey links within your networks to establish a chain of solidarity and encourage all organizations, artists, and professionals in the sector across the country to participate!
Below you will find the links to the surveys to be completed before Monday, December 7, 2020. Thank you for your valuable cooperation!
