Ontario Presents extends all of our best wishes to Jane Smythe, who is moving on to other opportunities. Look out for her as the conference coordinator for Dream Big North, a summit which will bring rural performing arts groups from Northeastern Ontario together with invited representatives of the Toronto and rural theatre scenes in December 2017. She is also working with the ReelWorld Film Festival and the Hart House events department. Best of luck Jane, you will be missed! We can’t wait to see what you achieve next.
