The Canadian performing arts sector organised itself to establish common values, expectations and voluntary commitments to create safer, more inclusive, respectful workplaces where artists can thrive, free from all forms of harassment, including sexual harassment, discrimination, bullying and violence. The code of conduct underlines that harassment can take many forms including unwanted sexual attention, inappropriate jokes or texts, threats, and other unwelcome verbal, written, visual, or physical communication or conduct. All employers can commit to adopting the code.
