by Simon Mallett, Executive Director A year ago, in the run-up to Budget 2025, the Canadian Arts Coalition (of which the Rozsa Foundation is a steering committee member) launched an emergency letter-writing campaign to try to avoid a 15 per cent cut to the budget of the Canada Council. Thanks in part to that advocacy, Budget 2025 held firm on much of the arts and culture funding and even saw a very small increase to Canada Council funding. What a difference a year makes.
