a home for artists to create anything that sets off a flare in their hearts.
Land Acknowledgement
The Flare Productions acknowledges the traditional First Nations land we create on is the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. Toronto is apart of Treaty 13 with the Mississauga of the Credit First Nations People.
In addition to a land acknowledgment, The Flare would like to acknowledge the privilege we have to be able to create theatre and art in Canada, when so many have lost their voices due to colonization, the destruction of community and racism from our government and monarchy. Words are not enough anymore. We must take action. We ask you to please take this opportunity to research more you can do to support Canadian First Nations, who have lost their home to colonization, and other communities across Canada who are being hurt, diminished and destroyed. We are lucky to be in the position we are, and will continue to do our part privately to support our communities as best we can.
