A special, one-time program created on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
The Canada Council funded New Chapter as part of a historic re-investment in the arts. The highly-competitive program attracted over 2,000 applications – from which 200+ exceptional projects have been selected. Together, these projects showcase the diversity of artistic expression across our country and will create a lasting legacy for all Canadians.
