Today is Giving Tuesday, a global day celebrating generosity. It’s also a moment to reflect on the strength that you bring to this community of storytellers with your participation, encouragement and commitment.

If you are in a position to do so, we invite you to make a gift that removes real barriers for storytellers across the country.

As we spend time reflecting, one moment from this year stays with us.

A young creator travelled from the Yukon to Winnipeg for training because the support they needed for travel was available at the right time. Their determination was unmistakable, but without that help, they would have missed out on a career-starting opportunity.

One barrier removed created a new path forward.

Give storytellers the gift of opportunity.

Your participation today – giving a gift – opens doors. Travel assistance, support for access needs and meaningful mentorship create space for storytellers from Indigenous, equity-deserving and underrepresented communities to enter their next chapter with confidence.

Thank you for being part of this community and standing with storytellers across the country.

With gratitude,

Christine Kleckner
Executive Director
