Beyond these communities, the youth classes include students from Mississauga, Caledon, Georgetown, and Erin, and in previous years Milton and Campbellville. VAB thanks the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their 2003 and 2008 grants to the group, which supported our youth and digital arts programming. VAB is a member of the Brampton Arts Council, an umbrella group for the local arts community.
