Performing Arts Lodge Stratford Inc.
Overview
Performing Arts Lodge Stratford Inc. is a volunteer-driven, registered Canadian charity dedicated to providing affordable housing and social assistance to individuals associated with Canada's professional and performing arts communities. It operates in Stratford, Ontario, a city renowned for its vibrant arts scene, notably the Stratford Festival.
History
PAL Stratford was inspired by a similar initiative in Toronto and was founded in October 1999 by Tom Patterson, the founder of the Stratford Festival, and Herbert Whittaker, Critic Emeritus for the Globe and Mail. They recognized the need to support an aging theatre and arts community, allowing them to continue living in Stratford alongside their colleagues. This effort aligns with the city's legacy as a hub for the arts.
Mission
The charity aims to support those who are fifty-five years or older and have been associated with Canada's professional arts community. PAL Stratford offers housing through a heritage house in the heart of Stratford, which includes five suites for residents. This initiative not only provides affordable housing but also fosters a sense of community among its residents.
Governance
Performing Arts Lodge Stratford is governed by an elected board of directors. It is one of eight PAL chapters in Canada, collectively serving thousands of artists across the country.
Impact
By supporting professionals from the arts sector, PAL Stratford plays a crucial role in maintaining the city's vibrant arts culture. The organization's presence helps ensure that Stratford remains a welcoming and affordable place for storytellers to live and engage with the community.
Affiliations
PAL Stratford is part of the broader network of Performing Arts Lodges across Canada, working to address the housing and social needs of artists nationwide. This collective effort reflects a commitment to supporting the well-being of Canada's artistic community.
