To assist Toronto artists in dealing with the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, Toronto Arts Foundation and Toronto Arts Council are introducing the TOArtist COVID Response Fund. The Fund will allocate up to $1000 to self-employed, individual artists resident in Toronto whose creative work and income have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognize the adverse impacts that the cancellation of performances and productions, the closure of venues, and the loss of teaching opportunities have on the freelance workers that make up the majority of professional artists in Toronto.

If you are having a dental emergency during the COVID-19 pandemic and you have to see a dentist in Toronto, there are some things that you should know.
The Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario has strongly recommended that all non-essential dental services be suspended in order to stem the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
This means that many dental offices have made the decision to close, and those that remain open will have to follow stricter infection control protocols.
