At the begining of May the Sheridan School of Animation, Arts and Design celebrated their Awards Evening for Sheridan’s famous Musical Theatre School – one of the world’s best – where some of Canada’s brilliant young performers develop and polish their art.

“Sheridan graduates amaze audiences from the Stratford and Shaw festivals to Broadway and Holywood, and graduates from Sheridan’s Computer Animation Department have led the world in artistic digital storytelling,” says Terence in his May 4th statement to the House of Commons (view the full statement on our Video Page).

“Every performer in Canada helps create jobs and opportunities for others, like stage hands, set designers and carpenters. Our artists also serve by helping to define who we are as Canadians. That’s why Federal funding for the Arts and Culture in Canada has never been higher than right now,” concluded Terence.
