‘You can’t get a higher recognition than that in Canada in terms of the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award’
Sandra Laronde, a member of Temagami First Nation, is the 2025 recipient of the Lifetime Artistic Achievement in Dance honour from the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards.
Laronde is a director, producer, choreographer and author, and the executive and artistic director of Red Sky Performance, a company she founded in 2000.
Laronde says she’s grateful for this latest accolade that acknowledges a lifetime of work, but there’s still quite a bit more she still wants to accomplish in her career.
