Health Canada has authorized a new rapid screening test developed by #Ottawa-based @spartanbio to diagnose #COVID19 in less than an hour without having to send a sample to a lab. The Department reviewed the device under expedited timelines. #MadeInCanada https://t.co/ddiBUy8khz

Attn #EquityStrong members:

To help you during this period, effective immediately we will:

-Delay the May 1 basic dues billing until June or until the many states of emergency are lifted

-Reduce basic dues by $15 for every month until the many states of emergency are lifted

[Siobhan Devine @I_siobhandevine]

On my set today we had a female camera operator, focus puller, and grip. In addition to a woman executive producer, director, script supervisor, assistant director, locations assistant, onset props, hair, make-up and wardrobe. Who says gender parity in movies can’t be achieved?!

Thank you, Minister @MacLeodLisa, for delivering the message that our tax credits are stable and that Ontario is open for business for the film and TV industry!

@danisgoulet Taika Waititi is executive producing the sci-fi thriller, which is one of several #Indigenous genre features coming to the fore in #Canada, such as Jeff Barnaby’s #zombie #thriller Blood Quantum, which screened at #iN20 last month.

Congrats to Danis Goulet for wrapping up production on her feature film directorial debut, Night Raiders!

The female-driven dystopian drama is the first-ever international #Indigenous co-production between #Canada and #Aotearoa /#NewZealand

#ReelWomenSeen chapter 1: ‘Our characters have names’ explores how “criminal” it is that so many roles for women have “no depth, no dialogue and no dimension” https://t.co/AzF7lZVweN @carmenmoore1 @kristinlehman1 @amandatapping
