Many artists in Canada are not in a position to financially plan for their future. The music industry in the last decade has shifted dramatically and it’s become more difficult to earn an income, let alone save for retirement. Organizations like PAL Place that focus on housing and creating security for our artists is a great comfort. Please support PAL Ottawa, who support the art and the artists. By doing so, it makes for a better creative community for us all.
