RED ALERT DAY - A Day of Visibility for events workers. We'd rather be building sets. Our #LightUpLive will be happening tonight on Industrial Drive. Swing by and check it out.

The effect of shutting down a $100 billion industry in Canada will have unimaginable impacts on both companies and individuals. Already, the vast majority of live event workers have been out of work or on government support since March, with no end in sight. The arts, entertainment and recreation sector lost 152,000 of 486,100 jobs between June 2019 and June 2020, and 86% of businesses experienced a high level of impact due to the decrease in demand or cancellation of service...s. Those that are still employed have seen a 45% reduction in hours worked. The corporate and business events sector directly employs an additional 229,000 Canadians according to a 2017 Oxford Economics study [citations]. We are asking venues and landmarks across the country to light red on 22 September to light up these dark theatres and concert halls, convention centres and festival grounds. We are also calling on the live event community many of whom work in the backstage hallways and tiny offices crammed behind the ballrooms and stages to stand up and be seen. GNW is participating in this tomorrow come by and show your support. #LightUpLive https://lightuplive.ca/i-am-live-events/

TOMORROW RED ALERT to raise awareness about our industry. We will have an installation going up outside our shop on Industrial Ave by the Arts Factory Society. ... On Tuesday, 22 September 2020, an hour after sundown, Light Up Live is asking technicians, suppliers and venues across the country to light the night red raising awareness for an industry that is still dark.

Do you need a sign? We can do that. We have the time and talents to get your message out there in a unique way. Sometimes all you need is a sign.

Congratulations, Rachel!

Who's going for a paddle today?
