Enabling enrichment, strength, and cultural change in our communities

We believe that the arts unify communities, improve individual well-being, and spark creativity. By supporting the arts for our younger generations, we enable positive social impact, improve quality of life, and create togetherness. 

We currently support:

Ballet Jörgen Canada

Since its founding in 1987, Ballet Jörgen Canada, also known as Jörgen Dance, has been making high-quality professional dance more accessible, with a focus on underserved, underrepresented and remote communities across Canada that historically lack opportunities to participate in cultural events due to geographic, funding, and socioeconomic barriers. Our mission is to advance the art and appreciation of dance and Canadian choreography through performance, education, and community engagement. Our vision is to inspire, enrich, and connect with communities through dance.” Aleksandra Maslennikova, Business Operations Manager 

Proudly supported by The McFarlane Family Foundation since 2010.

Hello Patti,

We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks once again for your generous support in helping us create and perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream. With every performance, the ballet continues to grow stronger—the dancers are becoming more at ease and expressive in their roles, and the production is taking on new life with each audience.

Our dancers have prepared a short video message to express their own appreciation and gratitude.
