<div style="text-align:left">Dear members of the BC Alliance,</div>
<div style="text-align:left"><br>
As part of our advocacy work during the pandemic, we've been in conversation with Minister Lisa Beare (Tourism, Arts and Culture) and the BC Arts Council, as well as many arts service organizations in British Columbia. Naturally, we will request recovery funding, but Minister Beare has asked us to identify additional steps the government could take to help our sector recover.<br>
<br>
What we would like to know is: <strong>what concrete steps, other than increased funding, could the government take to help you and your organization recover from the COVID-19 pandemic?</strong><br>
<br>
Your feedback will be essential in helping us advocate for relief for the arts and culture community. Please send your ideas to Brenda Leadlay at <a href="mailto:brenda@allianceforarts.com" style="color:#f47920;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">brenda@allianceforarts.com</a> by Monday, June 22 at 5:00 p.m.<br>
