Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts (CCAA) is a unique and highly acclaimed provider of enriched arts-based education in the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB). These unique and enriched arts programs at CCAA have specific needs which are not fully funded by TCDSB, thereby creating a funding shortfall. Friends of Cardinal Carter was established to assist in bridging this funding gap and thereby maintain the quality and integrity of the programs at CCAA.
