For the last 15 years, ACTRA Toronto members have gathered together at our fall conference to participate in professional development workshops, listen to panels and attend a plenary session with guest speakers from the industry and members of the ACTRA Toronto Council. Well, this year isn’t like other years but that doesn’t mean we can’t get together virtually.

• Celebrate new ACTRA Life Members Jani Lauzon and Jackie Richardson
• Hear from guest speaker, Nathalie Younglai, founder of BIPOC TV & Film, on efforts across the industry to challenge anti-Black racism
• Ask questions of our panel of performers about getting back to work with new COVID protocols in place
• Catch up on the latest news from the Union

The ACTRA Awards in Toronto recognize exceptional performances in TV, film, shorts, web-series including low-budget and member-initiated films.

The categories are Male, Female, Male Voice and Female Voice.

Is there a performance by a colleague from last year that you think ought to be recognized?

A conversation about money during the pandemic

Does money feel especially stressful and uncertain right now? Afraid to look in your bank account? Feel like you don’t know how long your money will last?

Register for our latest Financial Literacy session! In Basics of Managing Money as a Performer during COVID-19, ACTRA members Chris Enns (Certified Financial Planner) and Emily Nixon (both of Rags to Reasonable) walk you through the basics of overall money management and their application to life in the pandemic.

A FREE live session open to all ACTRA Toronto members in good standing (including Full Members, Apprentices and AABP members).
