"The support of the Aubrey & Marla Dan Foundation has been profound; we are incredibly grateful that they recognize the clear and necessary relationship between heath and the arts. Their support has enabled us as an organization to lean into our core values of care, collaboration, diversity, and difference in meaningful ways, particularly over the pandemic. It has enabled us to collaborate with community partners such as Parkdale Activity and Recreation Centre, and support artistic groups such as Switch Collective, to prioritize long-term engagement with underserved and underhoused communities in Parkdale with resources that support self determination, well being, and peer to peer learning. For many the experience has been remarked as life changing. From early workshops to the final large-scale public performances amplifying the stories and struggles of the Parkdale residents, AMDF's support help made this incredible work possible."
