Support Black Lives Matter - Donations, Resources and More

On Saturday, June 6, 2020, thousands of people gathered in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in Victoria Park and the weekend’s rally has taught us that we need to continue to take action. 

Canada Life Place and Spectra have a responsibility to the diverse communities in which we live and work. To champion social justice, equality and meaningful change.

Below are a couple suggestions on how you as an individual can continue to support the musicians and those who work in the music and entertainment industry.
