To the Honourable Leela Sharon Aheer, and my members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta and the Parliament of Canada,
My name is ______________, and I am a constituent in your riding.
Arts and culture are essential to the vitality and the health and wellbeing of Albertans and Canadians. Dance is timeless and contributes to our mental and physical well-being: psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/the-athletes-way/201805/the-powerful-psychological-benefits-dance
"The direct GDP contribution of culture industries was $6.3 billion in Alberta in 2017 ($1,488 per capita and 2.0% of provincial GDP). In 2017, there were 60,100 jobs directly related to culture industries in Alberta, or 2.5% of all jobs in the province. In Alberta, the GDP of culture industries ($6.3 billion) is larger than the value added of utilities ($4.6 billion) and similar to that of agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting ($6.4 billion)."

Notably, the dance sector is pluralistic and we want to ensure that members of the dance sector, especially Indigenous, disabled, and marginalized women, are recognized and equitably funded.
A properly funded and supported dance sector can lead by example in this #metoo era. Partner with dance and put your best foot forward in developing Safe Spaces for bodies of all abilities and backgrounds.
Connecting with your dance community can help you stay informed when handling the delicate policies and best-practices that protect individuals, their bodies, and their rights. These are politically hot-topics and play a major role in Art, Sport, Education, Healthcare, Business and other key social and economic sectors.
Support dance and let those who literally use their bodies to communicate help Albertans and all Canadians discover how to make life in this country better for all: one body, one conscientious gesture at a time. 
Please visit abdancealliance.ab.ca, cda-acd.ca and thedancecurrent.com to learn more about dance in Canada.
Please connect with my provincial and national dance service organizations to discover how you can best represent me and support the important work that we in the dance community do every day. Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely yours,
