Canadian Symposium on Arts and Learning to honour the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation
On December 3, 2009, Canadian Symposium on Arts and Learning will hold a tribute dinner to honour the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation for its outstanding contributions to arts and learning in Canada. The Foundation launched ArtsSmarts as a national initiative in 1998 to promote the active participation of young people in the arts. In the mid-1990s, cuts to educational budgets were forcing many schools to restrict students’ exposure to and participation in the arts. In order to counter this trend, ArtsSmarts was created on the premise that engaging young people in artistic activity is critical to their evolution as creative thinkers and that a creative intellect is a crucial asset for young people as they navigate their way in the new knowledge-based economy of the 21st century. The tribute dinner will be held at The Royal Conservatory in Toronto. Registration for the dinner is available at the following link.
