In this issue!
A big thank you to our members who took the time to respond to our membership survey. We are reviewing the findings with our strategic positioning and communications committees to better serve our community and the cultural sector. CHRC has also launched a past member survey. Should you receive an invitation to this survey after having received the invitation for the current member survey, our apologies and please disregard the past member survey. Long story short, many invert the organization name and organization contact name when renewing. This creates a duplicate entry that we don’t always catch and correct internally. Sorry for any inconvenience and please feel free to let us know if this happens to you, we’ll make the correction. While we’re at it…membership renewal is under way! Please sign up or renew for 2023.
CHRC thanks Zainub Verjee for your service to the organization’s Board of Directors. We are also pleased to welcome new Board members Donna Noonan and Kathleen Morris) to the group and to welcome back Richard Hornsby. 2022-2023 Board of Directors members

Belonging2023 will see the publication of new HR Management Toolkit tools, Accessibility Considerations in the Arts and Asking for Accommodation. These short compositions are aimed to help organizations and individuals reflect on greater workforce and audience accessibility. Ecoresponsibility policyWorking with and at the request of member organizations, CHRC has developed a template policy for organizations to go from zero to eco (at least, as far as they want to be). Belonging and the ecoresponsibility policy template documents will be shared and discussed within CHRC’s Cross-Sectoral Recovery Roundtable group before larger dissemination. Respectful Workplaces in the ArtsWhile the subsidized workshops are no longer available, CHRC’s resources are still available and current. Members can access CHRC’s help to ensure that policies correspond to the provincial or territorial expectations. What can we do to help?
Cultural Resilience: Using Innovation to Stabilize in Times of CrisisCHRC is currently on the Creative City Network of Canada’s project’s second phase, offering professional training materials developed for arts and cultural organizations and individuals to apply key qualitative findings from the Phase One Report to their own operations. These workshops are a specially-curated 3-hour session to serve your local arts organizations and individuals, as they look to create increased resilience in their operations after the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Attendees will learn about innovative approaches to stabilization and explore proven leadership approaches, and receive specific strategies and insights that can be applied to their future planning. After the Ottawa launch in May, the tour has visited Burnaby, Saskatoon, Kelowna, Camrose, Whitehorse and Winnipeg. The tour continues with stops in Mississauga, Oakville, Québec City, Montreal, St John’s, Halifax and more. Email CHRC or CCNC to request to host or to know more about the tour itinerary.
