Sun Life Financial has pulled funding for a popular Toronto Public Library program that offers free passes for museums and attractions like the ROM, Toronto Zoo and Ontario Science Centre, leaving its future uncertain.

The 10-year-old Museum and Arts Pass (MAP) initiative gives people with library cards access to passes for up to two adults and five kids that can be borrowed at any of the library branches.

Sun Life provided about $200,000 a year but decided to cancel that money because the program didn’t align with its re-evaluated priorities, said Paul Joliat, assistant vice-president of philanthropy and sponsorships.

“While the MAP program is a fantastic initiative, it doesn’t quite fit our refined criteria,” Joliat said. “These dollars are going to be reinvested within the arts and culture community across this country.”

The contract for funding is up at the end of the year, but Joliat said the company will continue providing it through the end of 2018 so the library is not left “high and dry.” He added that Sun Life will continue to fund the Toronto Public Library’s musical instrument lending program.
