Kudos to the British Columbia Association for Charitable Gaming (BCACG) for leading the
charge on Direct Access funding, galloping ahead while most were still looking for a horse
and saddle. Meanwhile a bunch of Neros are fiddling to one another about the esoteric
nature of museums while Rome is burning, having forgotten the real issue, namely that the
government reneged on promised funding.
Thankfully BCACG and others got to the nub of the matter with the threat of legal action
(and possible class action suit) on written agreements made to arts and culture groups,
forcing the government to reverse their decision.
Well done!
