Project Highlights
SCALE
SCALE is a new ‘network of networks’ at the intersection of climate and culture in Canada. The organization was incorporated in December, 2021 with a mandate to foster a coordinated, artful and impactful response to the climate emergency from Canada’s arts and culture sector. SCALE’s mission is to serve as a national hub to develop strategy, align activities, and build the climate leadership capacity of the sector. SCALE is a young organization with vast ambitions for networking, collaboration, advocacy and knowledge mobilization, all in the interests of affecting profound cultural transformation towards a climate-safe future.
