Federal Election Advocacy

The Canadian Dance Assembly joins the Canadian Arts Coalition urging all Canadians to vote for dance and the arts!

We ask for 1% for the arts.

1% Ask – We ask that the Government of Canada permanently allocate at least 1% of its overall spending towards arts, culture, and heritage. To achieve this for the 2025-26 fiscal year, the Government should increase its allocations by $270 million, via:
a. An increase of $140 million to the Canada Council for the Arts; and
b. An increase of $130 million to the Department of Canadian Heritage.
