You make our work possible
Over the last twelve months the Ross Creek Centre for the Arts and Two Planks and a Passion Theatre have made a positive difference in the lives of thousands of Canadians: moving theatrical experiences like no other, life-changing interactions between professional artists and youth, embracing new Canadians through art and reaching out through specific initiatives that support mental health awareness in our school systems. These are but some of the successful initiatives our organization has delivered during the organization’s 25th anniversary. As a donor, you have helped us achieve all of these things.
“She is still talking about the opportunity and what she learned and experienced…Her self–confidence and sense of her talent and abilities has grown…She has more fully embraced other opportunities to get involved in performing arts, volunteering and social justice activism. **** is now seeing herself as a leader. Congratulations to you for the success of all you accomplish with Ross Creek. Thanks also to your sponsors and funders. Their contributions are most appreciated.” – Camp Parent
In 2017, Ross Creek continues to provide unparalleled creative education and development for people of all ages, from established Nova Scotians to the newest Canadians. Two Planks and a Passion will present a timely new musical drama about Canadian suffragists entitled Nothing Less! and a unique fireside A Midsummer Night’s Dream featuring some of Canada’s finest theatre creators.
In order to continue this vital mission, we depend on the committed support of people like you.
We hope that you might consider increasing your donation this year to provide more opportunities.
Ross Creek and Two Planks engage members of the public from diverse circumstances, in many cases providing bursaries to ensure that those who need assistance to come to Ross Creek will receive it. Box office receipts meet only 30% of the total cost of producing theatre at the Ross Creek Centre. A registration for camp only covers 50% of the cost of providing camp and we want to ensure we keep camp accessible for all. In order to carry out these activities, and to keep the centre a vital part of our region’s cultural environment, we need your help.
$300 sends a young child to camp. $500 gives an emerging artist their first professional residency. $750 brings Ross Creek to an underfunded Nova Scotian school for a day working with every classroom. $1000 helps a Two Planks theatre artist work and live for a week at Ross Creek. You can direct your tax-deductible donation wherever you wish, or leave it to us to decide where it is most needed.
Many thanks for believing in our vision and our mission, and have a wonderful holiday season.

You can also donate securities, plan a gift for the future or organise a fun giving group!
Jason Roth and Cheryl Steadman-Roth are some of our artist angels, and based on the success of their matching funds campaigns, they have now given two new challenges: a commitment of $100,000 for our new Dining Hall which they hope will draw investment and excitement from others, and a challenge to businesses and service clubs to raise $50,000 for a permanent bursary fund. You can see more about their interest in our organisation in their video below.

Jason and Cheryl spend volunteer hours and their donation dollars making a real difference in the community, to Ross Creek, Two Planks and other charities. They are also very thoughtful about how the organizations they support can engage our communities in innovative ways. For example, they have asked that the bursaries they have already committed to become part of a pay-it-forward enterprise. Families getting bursaries are asked to do something nice for someone else that is within their means – to pass on the good will in whatever way is possible for their circumstances. It is this understanding of need, dignity, and spirit that makes them wonderful ambassadors for Ross Creek. We are proud to have them inviting you to join them in this exciting new phase of Ross Creek’s development.
