As we enter our second year, the Hub is seeking nominations for our first Advisory Council, a consultative body to support the Hub in developing its strategic direction, supporting its vision and assessing its impact.

The Advisory Council will be made up of approximately 6-8 individuals from a range of backgrounds relevant to the Hub’s work including artists/creators, researchers and policymakers from across the arts, culture and creative industries in Canada. Members of equity-deserving communities including racialized and Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, women and persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities/expressions are encouraged to apply. 

Advisory Council members will commit to 4-6 virtual meetings per year (approx. 3 hours each) with some additional time allocated to review meeting minutes, activity reports and other documents. Appointments to the Advisory Council will be for either a 1-year or 2-year term. While this should be considered a volunteer opportunity, members of the Advisory Council will be offered honoraria for their time.
