Lois Smith was The National Ballet of Canada’s first prima ballerina. She believed so strongly in the legacy of Canadian dance that she became the first person to make a gift to DCD in her estate plans. Lois’ inspiring generosity facilitated DCD’s bold move into a new space. This change has in turn boosted our capacity to celebrate and share the remarkable art form that she so loved.
You too can leave a lasting legacy that reflects your passion for dance. Anyone can give Canadian artists a firm footing on the continuum of history by making a gift to DCD through their estate. Regardless of income, you can make a deferred gift without impacting your current lifestyle. Contributing can be as simple as adding a sentence or appendix to your current estate plan.

Dance Collection Danse would like to acknowledge that the land on which we work is the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Métis, and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. It has been a site of human activity, including dance, for at least 15,000 years and we are grateful to all the caretakers, both recorded and unrecorded, of this land and of Turtle Island. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and dance in the community, on this territory.
