Introduction
Welcome to the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards Legacy Interviews. The inaugural interviews took place at Rideau Hall on May 9, 2014. The 2024 laureates were interviewed by past laureate and GGPAA Foundation co-chair Anik Bissonnette and past board member Denise Donlon. Our laureates spoke about what the award means to them, and they discussed what advice they had received about life in the performing arts. They also offer advice to those wishing to be involved in the arts as performers or supporters.
The 2024 interviews took place on June 8 at The Westin Ottawa. Camera and editing were provided by Mick Gzowski and sound by Jerry Turchyn. So, sit back and enjoy insights, advice and even a few laughs.
