Rewarding
Artists are special souls of the world. It gives me great pleasure to know that what I do every day can contribute to the well-being of artists – and I take it seriously.
Shuni Tsou, Program Officer, Equity Office
A Great Space to Work
In the Heart of Ottawa
The Canada Council recently moved to a stunning new home at 150 Elgin St. in the heart of downtown Ottawa and just steps from Canada’s Parliament Buildings.
Surrounded by Art
Our offices include a publicly accessible exhibition space and in addition are lined with a stunning selection of art works from the Canada Council Art Bank, making beauty and inspiration a part of daily life at Council.
Environmental Commitment
Our offices are in Performance Court, a Gold, Class A LEED-certified tower. Our open-concept workspaces take advantage of natural light throughout the building. Much of the interior was fashioned from recycled or refurbished materials and state-of-the-art climate controls keep our staff comfortable despite a low carbon footprint.
Dynamic
It’s a pivotal moment to be at Canada Council, and working in Indigenous arts in Canada. I am honoured to be part of an organization that is deeply committed to advancing the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples of this land.
