Following up on the Candidates Meeting on Arts, Culture, and Heritage in Peterborough–Kawartha

Thank you so much to everyone who helped make the Artsvote Canada 2021 candidates meeting last Thursday happen, and to everyone who came out to the event, both in the room at Showplace Performance Centre and online on YouTube. It was a lively and thoughtful discussion of the issues that affect the arts, culture, and heritage sector now, and those that will continue to impact the sector for the next several years.
