Last Thursday the Framework team gathered at the Business Dinner for The Arts Arnold party to celebrate Framework board chair’s Simon Foster being honoured with the prestigious Business for the Arts award.  As a founding member of Framework, Simon has played a pivotal role in the development of the Timeraiser program.  His commitment to Framework and his passion for the arts has helped Framework expand its Timeraiser program to eight cities across Canada raising over 93,000 volunteer hours and investing over $495,890 dollars in the careers of emerging artists.  In addition to being awarded at the Business Dinner for the Arts Simon was also profiled in today’s Globe and Mail.    On behalf of Framework and all its supporters we would like to congratulate Simon on this well-deserved award!
