60th Anniversary Gala of the Canadian Conference of the Arts

Bul­letin 35/05

Ottawa, Sep­tem­ber 7, 2005 -  The Cana­dian Con­fer­ence of the Arts (CCA) is host­ing its 60th Anniver­sary Gala on Wednes­day Sep­tem­ber 28, 2005 at the National Arts Cen­tre (NAC) in Ottawa in hon­our of every­one who has played key roles in the CCA over the years – board, staff, life mem­bers, award win­ners, fun­ders, donors, par­lia­men­tar­i­ans and you, our mem­ber­ship. The evening will com­mence with cock­tails and per­for­mances at 6pm in the Salon Room of the NAC, fol­lowed by din­ner at 7:30pm.

This will be an oppor­tu­nity to cel­e­brate the past, present, and the future of the arts in Canada – and the remark­able orga­ni­za­tion that helps make it hap­pen. There will be per­for­mances, remem­brances, and the pre­sen­ta­tion of the CCA’s annual awards.

We have invited The Hon­ourable Liza Frulla, Min­is­ter of Cana­dian Her­itage, to help us cel­e­brate, and although she has not yet made a firm com­mit­ment, we are con­fi­dent that she will be able to join us.

Seat­ing for this gala event is lim­ited.. Only 100 tick­ets will be sold, so be sure to call now to avoid dis­ap­point­ment. If you wish to sup­port the impor­tant work of the CCA, you will receive a char­i­ta­ble tax receipt for any dona­tion above and beyond the ticket price. If you are unable to attend, we would also wel­come a con­tri­bu­tion to the con­tin­ued work of the CCA.
