Hello BCMA-L-ers;
Forwarding this posting from the Alliance for Arts in Vancouver due to
recent discussions concerning the inequity of this federal policy
regarding sport and the arts...

Subject: Advocacy Alert Online petition
An online petition has been started to address the decision by the
Government of Canada in its most recent budget to give a tax credit to
the parents of children taking part in organized sports but not arts-
related activities.
The petition asks that the government reconsider the announced policy
and extend the tax credit to all children and to any activity in which
parents enroll their children for their mental, artistic or physical
well-being.

Subject: [BCMA Broadcast] Call for Hosts: Heritage Facility Planning Workshops
Message-ID: <44A3D1E9.12399.807F0F41@localhost>
Hello Members;
At last Friday's Regional Reception at Burnaby Art Gallery, BCMA
announced that we have negotiated and booked two successive
weekends in September to host the Canadian Conservation Institute's
2-day, "Heritage Facility Planning Workshop", based on the BCMA-L
response (over 60 interested parties!) earlier this spring.
We mapped out the geographical origins of respondents and
determined that 1 Lower Mainland location and 1 Okanagan location
would each prove the most accessible to the majority of the BCMA-L
respondents wanting this workshop.
BCMA now needs to confirm the actual host member institutions in
both these regions for an advance site visit and consultation with CCI
instructors, Siegfried Rempel and Brian Laurie-Beaumont, between
July 9 & 14, as part of tailoring the workshop content to institutions in
the region.
At last Friday's Reception, we invited "expressions of interest" and
announced this general "Call for Hosts" via BCMA-L this week.
I have requested "hosting requirements" for the session itself from CCI,
but they have said that they would be prepared to expand the
allowable attendance from 20 to 30 persons, if necessary.
More details will follow.
CCI reserved the two-week block in September as:
Saturday, September 16 thru Monday, September 25th.
Members can review the basic content of this CCI workshop online at:
Please respond directly to BCMA, at your earliest convenience.
Thank you!
