From Arts Reactivation:
The Reactivation Program provides direct financial assistance to independent and self-employed workers in the live performance sector who are experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic and who need financial support to maintain or regain work in the sector.
This funding provides a one-time relief payment of up to $2,500 for live performance workers, including independent, self-employed and gig workers with a focus on the theatrical and technical disciplines in Canada outside of the province of Quebec.
From the January 20th Facebook post by Keith Brown:
Do you work in live events in Canada in any capacity?
Do you know about the AFC reactivation program?
It's a grant up to $2500. It took me less than an hour to apply.
You have to prove you made 20k one year or 5k three years (not consecutively) since 2017.
