Through funding from the Canada Council for the Arts, The Association for Opera in Canada has partnered with Social Innovation Canada to explore connections between the opera sector and the impact investment world.
This engaging conversation will cover the potential for an Opera Bond, the landscape for social finance in Canada and tangible examples of successful social finance initiatives in the arts.
There will be an opportunity for all participants to engage actively in the session in breakouts to share thoughts and feedback on how repayable capital might meet their needs and to shape the creation of the Opera Bond.
