Online Mapping Project - Survey | Canadian Network For Arts & Learning

Mapping Project Overview

With generous funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Canadian Network for Arts and Learning is developing a comprehensive online map and database of arts education programming across the province of Ontario (and beyond).

Part of the process involves gathering insight from various stakeholders in the arts regarding the status of arts and learning in their communities, the issues and barriers they face, and how the proposed online map might help them achieve their goals.

The map is being developed on an ongoing basis as more feedback is gathered from people like you!

Help us continue to improve the map by filling out this short survey.

Please provide the name of your municipality or community *
