Our goal is to set up a calendar of Francophone events to facilitate public access to activities and events in French in British Columbia. Since 2016, the CFCB has communicated with the community via Facebook, Instagram, our online calendar and newsletter, all the information relating to French-speaking events across the province.

In 2007, Diane Roberts became artistic director, creating new work, touring internationally to the Caribbean, and working in collaboration with rural Indigenous communities. In 2014, Oji-Cree First Nations theatre artist Corey Payette became artistic director. Corey is committed to deepening Urban Ink’s strong tradition of developing and investing in the voices of Indigenous and diverse artists to create work that celebrates the diversity of Canadian theatre.
