Today ACTRA rallied in front of @LeoBurnettTO, calling out the agency's disgraceful behaviour, choosing to lock out performers & hoping to force them into accepting deep cuts to pay and more. Leo Burnett has been given bad advice & performers won't let them get away with it.
It's a big day at #TIFF20! Our first #ACTRAspotlight shines on this afternoon's premiere of INCONVENIENT INDIAN, directed by ACTRA Toronto member @NORTHERNGRRL and featuring member Gail Maurice. More info and screening details: https://t.co/TE6nYLrnNU

ACTRA Toronto is deeply saddened by the loss of Shirley Douglas today. Shirley gave a tremendous amount to the industry, helping to lead legislative protections for child performers. She was a champion of public health care, for which all of Canada is appreciative of to this day.
ACTRA Toronto is back at QP today promoting and advocating for performers and our thriving film and television industry. #ACTRATOATQP@ACTRAToronto @ACTRAnat
