CCCA
Canadian Art Database
Can this be more global? More public?

Tap into global to create awareness of Canada.
Corporate Structures
The councils they deal with re funded by the govt. and are quite transparent. The CAFAD need more transparency
Other organizations
Don’t know anything about their own goals. Go more public. Who do you influence, what works, what doesn’t.
Philosophy vs. Action
Lobbying instead of stating their goals
There is no exchange of ideas besides one a year

There should be cohesion in their mandate and what they do.
