Nearly 700 Venues Support Day of Visibility for the Live Event Community
On the evening of Sept . 22 , 2020 , nearly 700 venues and landmarks across Canada were lit red as part of a Day of Visibility for the country ’ s thousands of live event workers who ’ ve lost their livelihoods due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic .
The initiative was led by Live Event Community , an organization launched in March 2020 to support and share resources with live event professionals . Participants and supporters were encouraged to use the hashtags # LightUpLive and # EclaironsLesScenes when sharing photos and videos of red exteriors , and over the course of the evening , those posts generated 16 million unique impressions .
Additionally , Styx frontman Lawrence Gowan lent his support and performed as part of a livestreamed finale to underscore the importance of live events to the country ’ s cultural and economic fabric while Rush bassist / vocalist Geddy Lee also shared a video supporting the initiative .
