Harrison Festival - Presenter of the Year
November 7, 2011 - CAPACOA announced the winners of the 2010-2011 CAPACOA Awards, recognizing excellence in the field of live performance touring and presenting.
We are pleased to announce that Phyllis Stenson and the Harrison Festival Society was recognized as the CAPACOA Presenter of the Year 2010-2011.
“The work of presenters, agents and touring artists – ensuring access to the live performing arts for all Canadians, is a key component of societal well-being. It is with a deep sense of honour that we celebrate this year’s award recipients and their impact on our communities.” Erin Benjamin, Executive Director - CAPACOA
Community Gaming Grant Review
Recent changes to the eligibility criteria for Community Gaming Grants mean that the Harrison Festival Society is no longer eligible. This change very much puts the Festival's future in jeopardy.
Thank you to everyone who wrote the Review committee in support of the Harrison Festival Society.
Go to our Gaming Review page for background on Gaming Grants and how the Harrison Festival is affected. The Gaming Grant review has been completed and submitted to the Government. The only response from he Government so far is to say that the full Report will be made public before December 31.
