CLMA Launches National campaign
#CanadaIsLiveMusic underscores the live music industry’s unique ability to create significant economic impact while bringing Canadians together.
ADVOCACY MATTERS
The CLMA amplifies the realities of and opportunities within the live music industry to key policy- and decision-makers to enable, nurture, and enhance live music activity in Canada.
Impactful advocacy has direct benefit to your bottom line.
The CLMA builds relationships and tells the story of live music, leading to impactful change like over $450 million dollars in federal funding, including the recent pilot promoter funding program through FACTOR, recent Canada Arts Presentation Fund top-ups, and the first-ever inclusion of live music and venues in the Federal Budget, as well as policy work that enables you to do business.
