The Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA), the union representing professional performers who make commercials in Canada, has launched a national consumer boycott of union busting brands.
Canadian performers are shining the spotlight on ACTRA member Ferne Downey by naming her this year’s ACTRA National Woman of the Year.
February celebrates Black History Month and honours the achievements and contributions of Black Canadians in our communities, in our unions, in our workplaces, and in Canada, while also looking towards how we can collectively right injustices and build a better future.
ACTRA National appoints two new directors to senior management team: Natalie Clancy, Director of Public Affairs and Communications; and Linda Noelle Bush, Director of Performers’ Rights Society and ACTRA Recording Artists’ Collecting Society.
In this fast-paced digital world, new programs, software and apps have advanced creative capabilities in our industry. However, there is another side to these developments that’s worth shining a light on.
Canadian entertainment history is being made with the launch of the Canadian Stunt Hall of Fame website and by the announcement of the very first Canadian Stunt Hall of Fame 2022 Inductees.
