Community Support
TikTok's mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy, and storytelling is central to the platform's ability to empower the voices of creators. Furthering this mission, last month, MusiCounts announced a partnership with TikTok Canada to support the MusiCounts Band Aid Program and the MusiCounts Learn resource, KANATA: Contemporary Indigenous Artists and Their Music. "Teaching with TikTok" tips will be integrated into the resource to support secondary school teachers wishing to bring contemporary Indigenous music into their classroom. On TikTok, Arkells' Max Kerman revealed the allocation of $1M to 95 schools across Canada through the MusiCounts Band Aid Program. A portion of these funds were donated by TikTok Canada.
