In a shared effort to increase awareness for displaced event workers due to the pandemic, major arts organizations across Canada will be participating in a day of visibility Today, September 22nd.

Event venues across Canada will be lit with red lights to create a visual display of the reach and impact of events workers.

The lighting fixtures will be shining red overnight, starting between 5 pm and 6:15 pm on Tuesday, September 22nd. The lights will be turned off no later than 12 pm on Wednesday, September 23rd.
