CIBC Theatre for All – Kids Up Front

Our Goal

Nationally, Kids Up Front has a goal of 12,000 tickets dedicated to the CIBC Theatre for All in 2019. In Vancouver, our office has a goal of 5,000 tickets for 2019 and we surpassed that goal by distributing 5,379 in total!

The CIBC Theatre for All program helps Kids Up Front offices across Canada give deserving children and youth the gift of experiencing a live arts production like theatre, dance, opera or the symphony.

Exposure to arts and culture has many benefits. It can expand a child’s horizon and inspire dreams and hope for their future. Arts and cultural performances can help develop young minds, nurture creativity and encourage a long-lasting connection with the arts. It also allows children, youth and their family to be included in the arts and culture community.

CIBC is Kids Up Front’s valued corporate partner in providing access and promoting arts and culture. With their financial support, we are able to give our communities young people access to new experiences and expose them to the benefits of arts and culture.

"The kids feel: 'I do fit here, I’m part of society, I’m part of community.' They have something to talk about with peers when they come back from the weekend. It’s about normalizing things for kids."

John, Agency Coordinator

Our staff and youth are enormously thankful for the generous offering! Our budget does not allow us to give our children the opportunity to participate in activities such as this one
