Calgary Arts Development 
As announced at Calgary Arts Development’s March 25, 2020 town hall, $1.15 million has been allocated toward providing immediate relief to some of the arts organizations as well as arts and cultural workers in the most urgent need due to COVID-19 impacts.
The short-term relief funding of $1.15 million has been hived off of our future 2020 grant program funding envelopes that had not yet been activated in order to rapidly respond to emerging and urgent needs. These dollars will be directed in two ways:
  1. Arts Organizations
  2. Artists & Cultural Workers

FACTOR 
The Executive of the Board of Directors of FACTOR has approved a plan to address cancellations of events and activities due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
FACTOR will honour all approved commitments at 100% of the amount approved for funding in situations where the event or activity was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, this includes SXSW and the Junos, as well as all other activities such as tours, showcases and certain collective events.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT  
We would like to acknowledge the land where Music Calgary is home and where SoundOff Summit takes place and show our respect to Treaty 7. "These rivers, prairies, rolling foothills, and rocky mountains are home to all people of Treaty 7. With this, we understand and acknowledge that these are the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, consisting of the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations, the Îyâxe (Stoney) Nakoda, made up of the Chiniki, Wesley, and Bearspaw First Nations, and the Sarcee, Tsuut’ina First Nation. To honour the original caretakers of this land, Sound Off Summit makes it their responsibility to uphold the spirit of this river valley — a bountiful area traditionally known in Blackfoot as Moh’kinstsís [“where the Elbow meets the Bow”] — by ensuring our event is done in a good way, that we work in partnership with Indigenous voices, and create a space that operates with the utmost respect to the ancestral nations, culture, and ecology of this land." - Hannah Many Guns
