ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
DDMAAC acknowledges the Original Peoples in Canada as the sovereign stewards of the traditional territories we now occupy. We also acknowledge our Treaty obligations, so we work daily to maintain good relations and to support the 94 Calls to Action from the Truth & Reconciliation Commission.
We apologize for not yet being able to secure the funding needed to bridge the digital divide; meaning that we can't afford to provide full and proper access to our website and literature (which is ironic, considering that we are Canada's only arts support organization specifically attending to the collective interests of professional artists who live with some form of impairment!).
