Minors Committee
Who we are
The ACTRA Toronto Minors Committee is a volunteer group consisting of Minor performers and their parents or guardians, with support from ACTRA Toronto staff, the Child Advocate, and members of the Executive. Together, we aim to create a positive and informed space for young performers by sharing resources, encouraging conversation, and speaking up on the issues that matter most to Minors. The Committee also brings forward ideas, feedback, and recommendations to the ACTRA Toronto Council to help make meaningful changes for our youngest members.
