The CLC sends out periodic newsflashes to keep our membership informed of CLC activities and composer opportunities. We currently send out materials in the language in which it is received; our intention in the future, once we have sufficient resources, is to send out messages in both official languages.
La LCC envoie périodiquement à ses membres des
flashs d'information pour les informer des activités de la Ligue
et de nouvelles susceptibles d'intéresser les compositeurs.
Actuellement, nous envoyons les renseignements dans la langue
d'origine. Cependant, à l'avenir, nous avons l'intention
d'envoyer les messages dans les deux langues officielles, lorsque nous
disposerons des ressources suffisantes.

THE JULY 31st 2009 DECISION BY THE DEPARTMENT OF CANADIAN HERITAGE AND OFFICIAL LANGUAGES was to close down, as of April 2010, the Canadian Musical Diversity component of the Canada Music Fund that has been administered by the Canada Council for the Arts since 1986 through two programmes : “Grants for Specialized Music Sound Recording”, and “Grants for Specialized Music Distribution”. The $1.3 million from these programmes will be reallocated to factor/musicaction
As a gesture of artists’ disagreement with this decision, we would like to place before the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Offical Languages the evidence of the programme’s results in the hope that 1. He will listen to the recordings and 2. that they will stimulate an awareness of and sensitivity to the kind of work that is directly jeopardized by his decision. Recipients of the Canada Council for the Arts recording and distribution grants are hereby invited to send original cd’s (one cd) of their recordings to the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages James Moore, c/o the Canadian Conference of the Arts in Ottawa
http://www.ccarts.ca from where I will pick them up and deliver them as a whole and in person to the Minister’s Office. It is our hope that a large number of recordings that arrive together at one time on james moore’s desk will demonstrate solidarity within the artistic community and make a greater impact than where individual pieces to be sent separately.
The recordings must ARRIVE at the offices of the Canadian Conference of the Arts by JANUARY 4 at the very latest. It is best if artists do not expect to receive these recordings back as they will likely remain in the offices of Canadian Heritage. If you can spare a recording under these circumstances, please send it to:

Coupures des
FONDS DE LA MUSIQUE DU CANADA, VOLET DE LA DIVERSITÉ DE LA
MUSIQUE CANADIENNE
LE 31 JUILLET 2009 LE DEPARTEMENT DU PATRIMOINE CANADIEN ET LANGUES OFFICELLES a decider de fermer, à partir d’avril 2010, le volet de la Diversité de la Musique Canadienne du Fonds de la Musique du Canada qui, depuis 1986, est administré par le Conseil des Arts du Canada. Il s’agit des programmes “Subventions à l'enregistrement sonore de musique spécialisée” et “Aide à la distribution de musique spécialisée”. Les $1.3 million de ces 2 programmes seront réattribués à factor/musicaction
En tant que geste contre cette decision, on aimerait placer devant le Ministre James Moore l’évidence des resultats des 2 programmes, dans l’éspoir de 1. l’écoute par Mr. Moore des enregistrements et 2. les disques stimuleront chez M. Moore une sensibilité au travail qui est directement mis en danger par sa decision.
Celles et ceux qui sont bénéficières* des subventions de ces 2 programmes sont invitées à envoyer un de leurs enregistrements à James Moore , Ministre du Patrimoine canadien et des Langues officielles, au service de la Conférence Canadienne des Arts à Ottawa http://www.ccarts.ca De ses bureaux je prendrai la collection des disques et je les livrerai ensemble et en personne au bureau de James Moore. On attend qu’un grand nombre d’enregistrements qui arrivent ensemble d’un seul coup sur le bureau du Ministre manifeste la solidarité de la communauté artistique et on espère que l’impact soit plus grand que si chaque disque arrive séparément.
Les enregistrements que vous envoyez doivent ARRIVER aux bureaux de la Conférence Canadienne des Arts au plus tard le 4 JANVIER. Il est préferable que les artistes n’attendent pas le retour de ses enregistrements puisqu’ils resteront très probablement dans les bureaux du Patrimoine Canadien. Si vous pouvez vous en passez de vos enregistrements dans ces circonstrances, svp envoyez-les à l’adresse suivante:
LA CONFERENCE CANADIENNE DES ARTS

Ottawa ON K1P 6E2.
Merci, et si vous avez des questions, n’hésitez pas à me contacter.
