Community Giving
Our Vision: A creative and compassionate society, inspired through the arts.
We believe extraordinary arts experiences should be accessible to everyone. That’s why, together with TD Bank Group, we are proud to offer the TD Arts Access Pass. Through partnerships and initiatives with the Institute for Canadian Citizenship and the Calgary Public Library, we provide 1000+ tickets per year to new Canadians and others who normally wouldn’t have access to the performances we have on offer. The arts can unite and strengthen communities, improve an individual’s sense of belonging, build connections, and foster cultural understanding.
