The federal government has mandated the closure of TikTok's Canadian operations, leading the company to end its sponsorship of various Canadian arts organizations. While users will still have access to the app, TikTok must suspend support for local artists and initiatives indefinitely. Since entering the Canadian market, it invested millions in projects but is now facing enforcement of a previous order linked to national security. This closure also affects charitable partnerships like MusiCounts and Indigenous creator programs, leading to potential loss of career opportunities for many.
TikTok is ceasing its operations in Canada following a federal government order due to national security concerns, but users can still access the app.
Since establishing its Canadian presence, TikTok has invested millions in initiatives supporting local artists, but must now suspend these activities indefinitely.
The National Screen Institute's TikTok Accelerator for Indigenous Creators, which has benefitted nearly 400 participants, will be impacted by the order.
MusiCounts, an education charity supporting high school music programs, has received $500,000 in funding from TikTok, which will also be affected by the shutdown.
