The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified systemic and longstanding inequalities, with women and girls disproportionately impacted by the crisis. Women have faced job losses and reduced work hours, shouldered the majority of the additional unpaid care responsibilities at home, and continue to be on the front lines of the pandemic. As Canada moves towards an inclusive recovery, meaningful progress to advance gender equality is needed now more than ever to ensure no one is left behind.
To further support critical recovery efforts led by the women s and equality-seeking movement, today the Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development, announced 237 projects to receive funding under the $100 million Feminist Response and Recovery Fund call for proposals.

Dyrkacz, Bignell and Goossen will develop ideas for a short film or web series and learn the essential elements of short fiction screenwriting through workshops and one-on-one story editing consultations. Topics the course will cover include story structure, formatting, character development and other structural devices. By the end of the program they will have a well-developed script ready to pitch to funders, producers and production companies. One participant will also have their script produced by an NSI producer trainee in a future edition of the program. “The NSI is excited to welcome these northern storytellers to our virtual classroom today,” said program manager Ursula Lawson in a press release last Wednesday. “Steven and Rochelle are alumni from the first edition of NSI New Northern Voices so it’s great to further develop their skills, along with Ryan’s, as we work towards growing capacity within the screen industry in The Pas, Manitoba and surrounding areas.

Sean Sullivan
The magnificent brainchild of writer-performer Sean Sullivan, SBDC was set to open in Toronto at the Grand Canyon Theatre when the pandemic shut down the entire industry. Great art cannot be contained. I m not talking about BIG art, mind you. I m talking about GREAT art, created by great artists. Sullivan is a consummate theatre and film artist and a virtuosic physical performer. When I learned last spring that the production was canceled, I thought it was dead, because it featured commanding physical performances. Sullivan s genius gave him no rest, however, and he translated the production into an auditory feast.
