-Due to the fact that the National Ballet of Canada is preparing to stage its last season at the Hummingbird Centre in Toronto, its founding and history have become the focus of much national attention. The driving force at all times in the early years behind the world-famous company was Celia Franca. Celia Franca's energy and drive was also behind the gaining of a national mandate for the National Ballet. Celia Franca and other ballet enthusiasts began the company by drawing dancers from across the country, touring across the country, and, therefore, furthering the creation of a 'national base' for the company of dancers. Celia Franca and her directors, in point of fact, also insisted on staging the 'classics', and in preforming the 'classics'; they also insisted on the dancers living up to the most demanding, internationally-accepted standards. By virtue of the fact that they had little financial support, they could not tour their stage performances as often as they thought would have been appropriate. Founding of the National Ballet School in 1959, for the purpose of training dancers in order to meet these internationally-accepted standards, and the adoption of the O'Keefe Centre (now known as the Hummingbird Centre) in Toronto, in the final analysis, gave the foundation needed for the company to establish itself fully.
