This fall, Orchestras Canada is partnering with the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres to undertake a national compensation study of senior personnel in Canadian theatres and orchestras.  The results will be used to make sector-specific compensation data available to Canadian orchestras and update The Human Resources in the Canadian Theatre Report last published by PACT in 2003.  The survey will capture compensation data for senior artistic and administrative staff and is being administered by the Association Resource Centre, a firm with extensive experience in conducting research for associations.  Individual results are kept confidential:  only summary data will be published.

An invitation to participate was sent to voting members of Orchestras Canada late last week, and the deadline for response is December 4.  If you believe that you should have received an invitation – and didn’t – please let Jennifer Caines at Orchestras Canada know.  You can reach her at info [at] oc.ca

This study is made possible, in part, through the support of the Canada Council‘s Flying Squad program.
