You must be an alumni of Access BIPOC Producers / EAVE On Demand Access program to be eligible for this program.

A valid passport with at least six months’ validity from your travel date (January 2027) is required for program participation. Please ensure you can meet this requirement in time.

The following questions are optional. If you're comfortable doing so, please tell us:

Applicants to our programs are invited to declare their Indigenous identity and share their connections to their community or communities. At a minimum, this will include identifying your nation or Indigenous affiliation and describing your lived experience as an Indigenous person in the context of your work.

We value your unique perspective and honour the importance of your heritage in shaping your contributions. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

To ensure the integrity and authenticity of our programs, we may contact shortlisted Indigenous applicants to ask for the following information to confirm their identity:

• Proof of citizenship or nationhood
• Letter of support from a governance organization (e.g., Band office)
• Letter of support or nomination from an Indigenous community organization or group

We understand that these steps are important to uphold the values and trust within our community. If additional information is needed or if there are any concerns, we may:

• Follow up via email to request further details
• Ask specific questions related to your identity statement
• If necessary, request a copy of your Status, Métis, governing body or land claims agreement card

If those forms of identification are not available, we may ask for a letter from the community or governing organization you are affiliated with.

Please note that other steps may be taken depending on the individual case, nation or Indigenous group. Our aim is to ensure a fair and respectful process for all applicants. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
