  • White Paper on Francophone Arts and Culture in Ontario Arts and Culture
    FRANCOPHONE ARTS AND CULTURE IN ONTARIO White Paper JUNE 2017 TABLE OF CONTENTS SUMMARY 05 BACKGROUND 06 STATE OF THE FIELD 09 STRATEGIC ISSUES AND PRIORITY 16 RECOMMANDATIONS CONCLUSION 35 ANNEXE 1: RECOMMANDATIONS 36 AND COURSES OF ACTION ARTS AND CULTURE SUMMARY Ontario’s Francophone arts and culture sector includes a significant number of artists and arts and culture organizations, working throughout the province. These stakeholders are active in a wide range of artistic disciplines, directly contribute to the province’s cultural development, allow Ontarians to take part in fulfilling artistic and cultural experiences, and work on the frontlines to ensure the vitality of Ontario’s Francophone communities. This network has considerably diversified and specialized itself over the years, so much so that it now makes up one of the most elaborate cultural ecosystems in all of French Canada. However, public funding supporting this sector has been stagnant for years, and the province’s cultural strategy barely takes Francophones into account. While certain artists and arts organizations have become ambassadors for Ontario throughout the country and the world, many others continue to work in the shadows under appalling conditions. Cultural development, especially, is currently the responsibility of no specific department or agency of the provincial government. This means that organizations and actors that increase the quality of life and contribute directly to the local economy have difficulty securing recognition or significant support from the province. This White Paper, drawn from ten regional consultations held throughout the province in the fall of 2016, examines the current state of Francophone arts and culture in Ontario, and identifies five key issues.

Doerr (1949- ), son of Mervin Doerr and Dorothy Ward, born in Stratford, Ontario, is a musician and a member of CANO musique and one of the founders of Majoma music. While in high school, John was a member of a number of musical groups, performing on bass and trombone. The musical repertoire ranged from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, to Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. After graduating from York University with a degree in Psychology and one in ‘Beaux-Arts’ with a specialisation in Music, John moved to Sudbury to join the the first iteration of Cano Musique. He had met Rachel Paiement & David Burt while playing in Morgan, a popular lounge band in Ontario. They introduced him to André Paiement, whose vision of a musical co-operative was enough for John to make the move to Sudbury. The three, with Marcel Aymar and André Paiement then founded CANO musique, also a cooperative. As a member, Doerr played trombone, the electric bass and synthesizer. He also composed and arranged music for the group. A few of his compositions include “En Mouvement,” part of a collective composition “Au nord de notre vie,” “Partons” (with lyrics by M. Aymar and M. Kendel), and “Mime Artist” (with lyrics by Aymar and Kendel). John took on the accounting duties of the group when André Paiement died in Jan, 1978.
