Sandra Laronde Receives 2025 Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement in Dance

Recognized as Canada’s highest honor in the performing arts, the Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement celebrates artists for their outstanding and enduring contributions to culture in Canada and abroad. This year's dance award is presented to Sandra Laronde—director, producer, choreographer, author, and Executive & Artistic Director of Red Sky Performance.

I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing many of Laronde's works over the years, each beautifully crafted and deeply thoughtful. Congratulations, Sandra Laronde, on this well-deserved accolade, and thank you for your incredible contributions to Canada’s amazing arts scene!
