COVID-19 pandemic triggers social, economic devastation among Canada’s cultural workers
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the precarious state of Canada’s cultural workers, and the contempt of the ruling elite for artists and the arts.While a small segment of workers, the contribution of these workers to the cultural life in Canada and internationally is immense.In a real sense, the state of Canadian cultural workers is an international issue.But despite their essential role in human life and happiness, cultural workers are often among the lowest paid and most precariously employed.
Since COVID-19 restrictions shut down most arts institutions, live performances, theatres and film production, many Canadian cultural workers have survived on the federal government’s Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB—now renamed the Canada Emergency Benefit) of $500 per week, which will expire on September 27, 2021.This meagre and totally inadequate support has not stopped many cultural workers facing impoverishment or fierce competition for low-wage jobs in other sectors.
