Canadian Theatre Agreement, Article 10 Last Updated: August 31, 2024
We acknowledge and honour that The Roxy theatre and our city is located on Treaty 6 land, which is traditional territory of the Nêhiyawak and a traditional home to the Niitsitapi, Nakota, Dene, and Anishinaabe, as well as an important trading centre and home to the Métis people of Alberta. We also recognize and are honoured to be Treaty people; therefore, we seek to uphold the spirit and intent of the Treaty and strive to live in good relations based upon the Treaty principles of Peace, Friendship, and Respect.
We extend our appreciation for the opportunity to live, create and perform on this territory. In the spirit of a shared commitment to sectoral change, and to foster the development of safe, respectful, and responsible work environments in the performing arts, Theatre Network continues to build anti-racism, inclusion and anti-oppression into the heart of all our policies, practices and programming. We recognize that this work is ongoing work, and does not ever end, yet our commitment to pursuing it shall remain fervent.

AT THEATRE NETWORK, WE BELIEVE
As an organization committed to supporting artists, it is integral that we ensure that the stories we tell, as well as the composition of our artists, board, staff, students and audience are reflective of the diverse lived experiences in our diverse city.
We commit to dismantling the systems of oppression that our organization has benefited from. We acknowledge our privilege and it is our responsibility to enshrine this commitment at the heart of our company. We pledge to be held accountable to this ongoing work with transparency and in dialogue with communities and all stakeholders.
We believe this work requires immediate and ongoing action and constant reflection. We will continue to build an anti-racism and anti-oppression intersectional framework through training, policy changes, and a commitment to Edmonton’s 35/50 Initiative with accountability throughout the entire organization. We are proud to be part of our city’s vibrant theatre community and commit to working together with our colleagues to exchange knowledge and ensure lasting systemic change at Theatre Network and throughout the arts community. We welcome and celebrate all voices, all bodies, and all experiences. This is a living statement that was crafted by Theatre Network’s Board of Directors.
